Born in 1995 in Bari, Puglia, Alessandro De Marinis is an artist, photographer and graduate writer of the Decorative Arts of Paris. After spending many years in Italy, in symbiosis with his family, his twin brother and his mother, and after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bari, he decided to go to Paris where he attended the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts décoratifs.
His work is thus built on the experiences that have marked his life in southern Italy: his religious family, his relationship with his twin brother and his homosexuality. His artistic universe is populated by twins, myths, angelic figures, religious and androgynous images. Between poetry and fiction, his projects are crossed by the theme of the couple in the broad sense: the twin couple, the relationship mother-son, sedentary and nomads, angels and servants. In a penetrating style and with a political and sacred sense that does not prevent subversive irony, Alessandro De Marinis creates a personal universe animated by complex characters. He makes it the frame of narratives where his visual poetics associate with the imaginary creation of different worlds. In her work, Alessandro questions the human journey, raising questions such as social determination, good and evil, the relationship to the other and to oneself through the theme of double and androgynous.
