Andrea Boriani

There is an added value in works of art using recycled materials, a value that goes beyond the artistic dimension and relates to the sphere of ethics, ecology and symbolism. And in the work of Andrea Boriani are electronic waste to become support and raw material, knowing a real version 2.0. Combining the passions of art and computing, Andrea has developed her own style based on mixing using markers, spray paint, enamel, acrylic paint, spray plaster. The subjects are mostly portraits, often of mythical characters such as marveling superheroes, Starwars clones, the famous rock... Very geeky subjects for works that evoke the computer world.

The manufacturing process of the usually with the selection of materials and the craft preparation of the "canvas" through the assembly of the floppy disk, the preparation of the motherboard, the hard disk, the houses, etc., and the implementation of the project, first developed on the computer, support, thus produced. With Artivive, we found a perfect tool to add another dimension to our work and I found the right tool to express my art, which is a mix of digital and analog art.

Computer science for almost twenty years, Andrea has always been fascinated by the possibility of being able to recover in one way or another the waste of electronic companies and public administrations. Today he has, and at a time when the problem of disposal of electronic components, with computerization is spreading, is becoming more and more urgent, but does not represent the solution, his art is truly capable of activating new circuits.
