Alessandro Rizzi is an Italian artist born in Brescia in 1985. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Human and Social Sciences and a Master’s degree in Human Rights and the Ethics of International Cooperation from the University of Bergamo.
His practice began in the late 1990s through an early and intuitive attraction to graffiti and urban writing, experienced as spaces of both aesthetic exploration and ethical expression in the public realm. From this initial path, his practice evolved through a continuous interaction between the visual and material beauty of urban forms and a critical reflection informed by academic studies in human sciences and political theory.
Rizzi’s work develops at the intersection of artistic practice, social inquiry, and lived experience, shaped by extended periods of research and professional activity abroad, including Colombia, Australia, Lebanon and Turkey. His approach investigates the relationship between form, language, and power, positioning artistic action as a space of negotiation between individual expression and collective responsibility.
