Biography
Andrea Pacanowski was born in Rome in a family of artists: his father was an architect, his aunt was a painter of “Ecole de Paris”, his grandmother was a sculptor. On these basis he developed his education: he took the diploma at the art high school and started to rise through the ranks in Alberta Tiburzi studio, an Italian photographer internationally known.
He is then a fashion photographer for more than 20 years. He worked in Italy and abroad, mostly in Canada and in the United States, contributing to editorials, publications and advertising campaigns. He currently lives and works in Rome.
In 2008, following his continuous experimentation and dialogue with the new art trends, starts his evolution and technical research in which photography mixes with painting in a unique union. The photographic language is so exasperated to lead to the creation of three-dimensional pictorial images. Thanks to the use of an innovative technique, that leaves photography without any intervention of post-production, the picture turns into a painting. This photographic technique, complex and elaborated, has been developed also at audiovisual level, with the added value of movement, dynamism and sound, in “Acquario”, the video installation that sums up at present his innovative artistic and photographic strength.
