I was born on February the 9th 1966. I obtained an Illustrator's Diploma at the European Institute of Design in 1991. As an illustrator I am interested in visual communication, something rather different from what I aim for as a painter, free and even ‘without use', one might say, except that what interests me most about illustration is definitely the relationship between writing and image. My complete illustrator’s works are viewable on my website at www.alessandroferraro.it My latest artworks and exhibitions (@poetryisaplace; @mydaysandyours; Lazzaro_Art doesn’t sleep; Contestarockhair Shanghai, Roma; MACROAsilo 'Atelier' e 'Project room'; Face to Face; MAXXI; MAAM; DIF; B17; Artsynergy) are on www.nuvolavaga.com. I have been teaching since 2009 to 2020 to Officina B5 Illustration School in Rome.
I opened Poetry is a Place - the workshop (#piaplab) in Chicago, at 'The School of the Art Institute of Chicago', from 02-10-2023 to 13-10-2023. The students' exhibition was held at the Italian Cultural Centre of Chicago in February 2024.
Afterwards #piaplab was held at RUFA in Via degli Ausonii in Rome in March 2024, and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Frosinone between March and April 2024.
I live and work in Rome
