Biography
In the works of the series ‘Silence/Shapes’, commenced in 2009, the artistic research of Filippo Minelli has reached a high degree of synthesis and concentration that combines mastery of the aesthetic codes with language awareness and the ability to express complex content in a mediated way, through a dialectical perspective in permanent balance between transparency and opacity. Education : 2002/2006 BFA in New Media for the Arts, Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, Milano Italy, prof. Jacqueline Ceresoli.
