ANDREA ALESSIO

I was born in Venice back in 1966. I spend my time between Venice and Treviso, in the mainland.

I studied Literature and Cinema at Ca' Foscari University then I kept on practicing and studying photography with authors like Italo Zannier, Gabriele Basilico, Jessica Backhaus, Guido Guidi, Joakim Eskildsen, Machiel Botman, Todd Hido, Pino Musi, Mark Steinmetz, Jason Fulford, Arthur Herrman, Lucas Foglia.

My work has been exhibited across Italy and abroad. Among the others, at gallery Il Diaframma Milano for its 25th anniversary, at the museum of Contemporary Art in Bergamo, at the Science Museum in Milan, at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and by private galleries in Europe and United States.

I started my artistic exploration in my twenties; I stepped back after few years for a while as I focused on my professional project: Varianti.it. In 2012, after successfully achieving my business goals, I decided to look back at my inspiration, then I suddenly got immersed in new projects and book creations. It keeps going on day by day.

I'm always open for collaborations and looking forward to exchange ideas. Please, feel free to share with me any comment you might like to come up with.
