Alessandro Scarabello was born in Rome in 1979. He works between Rome, Florence and Brussels. In addition to his painting practice, he is co-founder and co-director of MODO, a cultural association for contemporary art  in Brussels, and visual arts lecturer at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) in Rome.

Statement

Painting allows me to step back from the incessant stream of human activity and watch it flow in front of me. It is a privilege to paint a picture in a landscape saturated in digital images. I believe this is a radical position that allows me to focus on my very nature and autonomy as an individual, to interpret personal and non-personal life events through the infinite possibilities of this medium.
