He was born as the third of five children to father Gustav Spazzapan, a prison guard, and Josipina Mervič (Italianized Giuseppina Mervi).
Spazzapan left teaching to devote himself entirely to his passion, painting. In 1923 he participated in Padua in an exhibition of Futurism art movement which he had recently met through the group founded by artists George Carmelich, Sophronius Pocarini, and Mirko Vucetich. In 1928 he moved to Turin, where his meeting the Group of Six of Turin allowed him to create a personal style in his work.
In 1936 he was invited to the Venice Biennale, where, in 1954, had a solo show distinguishing himself as a notable artist.
