Sandro Chinellato

Sandro Chinellato (born 1948, Mogliano Veneto, Italy) is a painter and printmaker whose work is particularly associated with etching. He began painting at a young age and turned to intaglio printmaking in 1981, after studying its techniques with Valentino De Nardo.

In 1984 he became a founding member of the Teatro Vecchio–Perinciso printmakers' association in Conegliano. Alongside his art, he worked in business management and labour consultancy, at times reducing his printmaking activity because of professional commitments.

He returned to further technical study in 2012, attending intaglio-printing courses at the Bruno Munari State Art Institute in Vittorio Veneto. Chinellato has participated in national and international exhibitions and taught printmaking techniques. His prints are represented in the Sartori collection, where works such as Cadore combine etching and aquatint.
