Attilio Fiumarella is a visual artist whose practice intersects photography, architecture, and social landscapes. Trained at the Porto School of Architecture, he worked as an architect before fully dedicating himself to photography. His work explores themes such as identity, territory, and social issues, often incorporating performative elements and new media.
In 2025, he is an artist-in-residence at Braga25 – Portuguese Capital of Culture. In 2020, he won the Portrait of Humanity award, organised by the British Journal of Photography in collaboration with Magnum Photos. He was also a finalist for awards such as the Aesthetica Art Prize, the Head On Portrait Prize, and the UNSEEN Dummy Book Award. In 2018, he received a grant from the Arts Council England to develop a project on British identity.
His work has been commissioned by institutions such as the University of British Columbia (Canada) and the Centro Internacional das Artes José de Guimarães (Portugal), as well as publications including The Guardian, Le Monde, Die Welt, L’OBS, and the Financial Times. His work is part of various public and private collections and has been exhibited internationally at institutions such as the Art Museum of West Vancouver (Canada), The Barber Institute of Fine Arts (UK), Sydney Museum (Australia), and Capa Centre (Hungary).
