Paolo Consorti attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Macerata, and while there, he participated in some cinematographic collaborations with Sergei Bondarchuk.

In 1992, the philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer made a comparison between Consorti and Hieronymus Bosch on the base of their shared "contrast between pictorial and dramatic balance of modern and post-modern".

In 2006, Consorti took part in "Garten Eden – Der Garten in der Kunst seit 1900" in Emden, Germany, and was one of the Italian artists chosen to represent Italy in the nature and metamorphosis expositions at the Urban Planning Exhibition Center in Shanghai and the Millennium Art Museum in Beijing.

This was a work in progress that was composed of different performances in which the patron saints of Italian cities acted with paradoxical actions in the present time.

In June 2012 he will bring "Rebellio patroni" with a great solo show with Paintings, installations, video and performance at Palazzo Reale of Milan.
