Michele Bonicelli, was born in 1998 in a small village in the heart of Sardinia. The humanistic studies during high school and the Bachelor degree at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, gave him a solid starting point for an artistic-authorial career. The one-year curricular internship experience with the Gian Paolo Barbieri Studio and Foundation, as a highly formative path, will have a great symbolic impact on his creative approach. He currently works as a freelance photographer and collaborates with several photographers belonging to the Milanese scenario. From November ‘21, he’s in charge of the Photo Department for Engel&Völkers Milano.
In his works, Michele seeks the perfect balance with an essential Black and White, as if he were drawing with the ink on a well-studied structure. 20th Century Photography is his greatest teacher.
