Born in Houma, LA in 1979, Greg Piazza grew up surrounded by nature in the sugar cane fields and bayous of South Louisiana and moved to Dallas, Texas in 2002. Greg began making art to cope with the loss of his brother in 2004; finding peace in creating minimalist compositions focusing on contrasting color, shape, and texture. In 2007, Greg’s work shifted as he explored how the environment shapes our thoughts and emotions. Following the Latin phrase, “Inveniam Viam Aut Faciam – I shall find a way or make one,” he seeks out remote landscapes through which he can find a simple and calming connection back to his brother. In 2022 Greg’s wife, Jennifer, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and this inspired the creation of his “Time” series, documenting time in the smallest increments, before Jennifer passed away in 2023. Greg’s photographs consistently include permanent subjects such as mountains, boulders, or architecture, metaphors to everlasting memories of his brother and Jennifer, juxtaposed with moving elements such as clouds or water.
