About Artist

Rosario Civello

Rosario Civello is an Italian photographer. He began to be interested in Photography by the latest ‘70s, taking photographs with his father’s old camera and making researches in different directions to free his creative spirit and get deeper in an increasing sensibility of his visual language. He is a self-taught photographer who has always been passionate about art in all its forms. His love for Nature, in its broadest sense, led him to study Astronomy at the University of Bologna where he graduated. He worked as a professional Meteorologist in a well-known Italian company. Nature is only apparently chaotic, only apparently the forms existing in the universe are irregular. It is sufficient to observe a leaf: venation and jaggedness show, upon careful observation, a perfect geometric trend. Everything he does is to put order in the composition, creating a balance of elements - light and dark, points, lines, planes and forms. He visually deconstructs the scene, discarding the superfluous, so that it fits to its natural inclination towards minimalism. His representative works include “Signs” series and “Snow Shapes” series, inspired by the book “Point and line to plane” of Wassily Kandinsky. Point and line, from geometric entities intangible, from conceptual abstraction, materialize, become concrete form on the surface. Winner of several international awards and prizes, he has been elected Photographer of the Year 2015 at the 4th Zebra Awards and Discovery Of The Year 2016 at the ND Awards. Recently, he was named Landscape Photographer of the Year 2021 at Minimalist Photography Awards. He held the role of Jury Member at the photo contest “ONE EYELAND TOP 10 Black & White Photographers 2018”.
