NICCOLO CASAS

My art explores the themes of coexistence and integration, delving into our interconnectedness with technology and nature. It examines the delicate balance within this relationship, seeking to uncover its darker, more melancholic aspects. I use collage to compose seemingly unrelated elements: black and white portraits, geometric and organic patterns, and pink strokes. These elements exist both separately and together, mirroring how our identities fragment across the digital and physical realms, between the visible and hidden, the past and present. My work aims to emphasize how our presence is a synthesis of independent moments in time and space.
My artistic influences span across various mediums, including poetry, photography, and visual art. Charles Baudelaire's poetry, Francesca Woodman's photography, and Mimmo Rotella's decollage art have profoundly shaped my creative vision and practice. My architectural background and love of nature clearly influenced my art. Modern and
traditional Japanese architecture had a strong impact on my vision, with architect Kengo Kuma being my first source of inspiration.
