About
James Rizzi, the iconic artist from New York
Born in Brooklyn in 1950, he studied art at the University of Florida in Gainsville until 1974. Shortly after finishing his studies, he had the chance to present his work at the Brooklyn Museum in New York.

The vision of the artist - A look into the future
James Rizzi was an optimistic and cheerful person during his lifetime. It was always his wish not only to have a fulfilled life, but also a long one, to give all his thoughts and artistic ideas space and time.
His three-dimensional artworks, developed the 70s and 80s, are now experiencing an exciting expansion due to the digitalisation of today’s world – in the metaverse and in the form of NFTs.
James Rizzi’s sister Roberta states: “It is a dream come true for Jimmie: His characters can now be digitally animated and gain a three-dimensionality without losing the charm and their Rizzi-ness.”
