Stefano Bombardieri is born in Brescia in 1968. He learned artistic techniques from his sculptor father, and experimented with various materials. This helped him to acquire a great knowledge on material and technique. His initial approach on sculpture was figurative, influenced by great masters of 1900s. Subsequently his studies evolved into a more philosophical orientation on art, based mainly on the concepts of “time and its perception” and “to experience pain in western cultures”. His works begin from the reality and reaches to imagination of fantastic universes and interior worlds. Besides from his hyper-realistic works, his expressions are related to arte povera, minimalism, video-installations and conceptual works.
Beginning from the 90s, he creates works of great dimensions for public and private spaces. He works between Italy, France and Germany.
He participated to the 52th Biennale di Venezia in the Pavilion of Syrian Arab Republic with his work “Europa Pallida Madre”, installed next to the Chiostro di San Francesco della Vigna, recreates the Column and the Lion of the St. Mark’s square.
