Alessandro Fronterrè was born in Syracuse in 1993. In 2017, he graduated from D.A.M.S. in Bologna with a thesis on Photography and Surrealism, and currently lives and works in Turin.

Over the years, he attended photography studios where he learned and studied the art of photography, including the technical steps of development and printing in the darkroom. These studies allowed him to become aware of both the possibilities and the limitations of the photographic tool. The continuous references between the external world and its deeper essence become the focus of his work, with the aim of showing how photography can transcend the simple reproduction of the surrounding reality and act as a link between the material and the spiritual world.

Over time, his interest shifted towards the practice of the Digital Art. In 2016, he started experimenting with the creation of works in which he combined digital photography and digitally created and manipulated graphic objects.

This change of direction originated from the emergence of a new creative and communicative need: the manipulation of the image understood as the deconstruction and decontextualization of objects from their initial context and their reconfiguration within a totally reinvented visual space. This compositional process has a dual purpose: to question what we commonly understand as “objective reality” that can be photographed, revealing the illusion of objectivity, and to exploit the creative flexibility of digital tools to redesign the pictorial concept in a contemporary key.

The expressive language used in his works is influenced by Metaphysics and Surrealism, but evolves towards what the author defines as “Symbolic Digital Photo-painting“, where the digital manipulation of photographic images is predominant.

Over the years, he has participated in events and exhibitions, including the international art fair ART Innsbruck and the solo exhibition “Profondità abitate” (Inhabited Depths) at the contemporary art gallery Wikiarte in Bologna.
