Artist short biography

Xavier was born in 1957 and raised in Milan, Italy. He has worked as an advertiser, producer, director and visual artist. Throughout his life, Xavier has always been exposed (by education and profession) to art, design and fashion and developed an aesthetic sense that reflects in his creative vein. He has always been a passionate photographer and decided to combine his passion with the digital world. Everything starts from a photograph that he personally takes. The subject of the image is not really important. What Xavier looks for is a color palette and certain shapes and lines. Then he transforms the photograph through digital processing programs. The result is an abstract pictorial image, where nothing recalls the original subject. So, his starting point is reality but the result is a different representation and perception of it. Xavier stimulates, with his visions, an endless series of references and citations in the viewer. The unconscious thus begins to wander in front of his color tangles, making many references resurface: from Italian Renaissance to Klimt, from tribal patterns to Op Art. His work is driven by his joie de vivre: a flow of creative energy guided by the search for balance in beauty. Xavier would anyone looking at his artworks be inspired by the play of shapes and the richness of colours and find fantastic worlds, fruit of their imagination. Some of his works are part of private collections. Xavier is currently living in London, UK.

Differences between Emerging, Mid-career and Established Artists

Emerging Artist

An Emerging Artist is someone who’s in the early stage of his or her career. Someone who’s caught the eye of an art critic and/or gallery but hasn’t yet established a solid reputation as an artist amongst art critics, art buyers, and art galleries. Independent of his or her chronological age, this individual has created a modest independent body of work.

Mid-career Artist

The Mid-career Artist is an artist who has created an independent body of work over a number of years and who has received regional or national recognition through publications or public presentations of his or her work. A Mid-career Artist has had a significant number of solo exhibitions at significant galleries and museums, located nationally or internationally.

Established Artist

An artist who is in the Established stage in his or her career has created an extensive body of independent work. He or she has reached an advanced level of achievement by sustaining a nationally or internationally recognized contribution to the discipline, and his or her work’s value has been decided through consistent years of sales and confirmed at auction.
