b. 2001 (Italy)
based between Venice and Brussels.
Hello, I’m Stefano! I’m a multimedia artist and graphic designer. In my practice, through a wide set of references from art history and internet culture, I work with banality and simplification, unfolding them into a playful and unpredictable imaginary.
When it comes to my own practice, I would describe it with keywords such as post-internet, cynicism, individualism, simplicity, playfulness, baroque excess, minimalism. Although these labels are an incomplete and partial tool for understanding anything, I use them to open a space for contradictions and paradoxes. That’s where my research moves—between the authentic and the playful, the serious and the mischievous— and where new perspectives can appear.
I earned my BA in Multimedia Arts from IUAV, Venice, in 2023. Since 2022, I'm part of the art and publishing collective Ipercubo, and I'm currently pursuing a Master's at LUCA School of Arts, Brussels.
