Gian Luca Groppi, born in Piacenza in 1970, lives and works in Genoa.
From the age of 27 he devoted himself to photography, mainly in black and white, that he printed personally in the dark room. In recent years he has also experimented with color digital photos.
Defined by the critics: "a modern storyteller who combines sensitivity and irony, hidden by a facade of rigid seriousness", he practices art as a necessity, using mind and photographic medium to express his poetics: he collects stories and create stages, to reveal and recovery illness, emptiness and anxieties of society, cloaking them in a redeeming, rather black humor
He had noumerous exibition, in Italy and abroad
