ANDREA PAVAN

A professional architect, Italian artist Andrea Pavan has a particular interest in spatial arrangements. Geometry in particular fascinates him. Born in 1968, he graduated from the Florence University of Architecture in 1996. After launching his career, he devoted his spare time to photography. Over the years, this interest in the eighth art grew and his style evolved towards conceptualism. It was the advent of the Instagram social network that was to constitute a major transition for the artist. Since 2014, he has used the platform to share his artworks, his artistic vision of a singularly geometric and resolutely stylised world. Outside of time and space, his creations obey a script in which light plays the starring role. They outline geometric forms in surrealist compositions in black and white. ... See more See less

Interview

Why photography?

I think that photography is an immediate communication tool for one's thoughts, and graphic art its translation into a fantastic vision.

Your inspiration ?

The inspiration comes from my work as an architect ... but it departs from this for the continuous search for a new point of view of geometric space.

What is unique in your photographs ?

I believe that the peculiarity of my work is the balance between architectural space and graphic geometry. Here, as on stage, small silhouettes perform.

The context of creation of your new series

The infinite possibilities of virtual space.

Any anecdote for us ?

It all started for fun, now it's a passion.

The picture you would have loved to shoot ?

I always answer this question ... "the next"

The latest prizes / awards / prides you got ?

What I create is for pure pleasure, prizes and awards are secondary to me.

Your next projects ?

I don't have a particular project, I follow inspiration and I let myself be guided by it.

Your motto ?

"There is room for everyone, just be in harmony"
