Maurizio Sapia

Biografia

Born in Sanremo in 1966, after his studies and after the end of his cycling career at the age of 21, fascinated by the great creativity of the fashion world, he moved to Milan to follow the photography courses of the European Design Institute . After graduating from IED, he began first as an assistant, then as a photographer to collaborate with a famous Milan studio specializing in still-life photography. After a few years he founded Studio h2o with three other partners, collaborating with various fashion magazines and advertising agencies. It is also part of a group of professionals in the image field and engineers to develop 3D video shooting techniques. In the last fifteen years he has developed his own expressive way free from the rules of commercial photography: first through analog photography and then making use of the computer he has explored territories between photography and painting with his very personal style. His interest in the expressive potential of the digital world has extended his research to interactive installations. For some years he has devoted himself exclusively to his artistic research and collaborates with the Diemauer Gallery in Prato and recently with the STP Galerie of Greisfwald in Germany and EB gallery in Los Angeles. Lives and works in Milan.
