Maurizio Bavutti is a full-time Italian photographer with an international background. His interest in photography began during his film studies in Spain. Since then, he has worked with analog photography, in color and black and white, through portraits and landscapes, developing a romantic and nostalgic vision of the contemporary world tying deep roots to the past. After finishing his studies in media, which he attended throughout Italy, Spain, and the UK, he moved to London in 2006 where he completed a postgraduate course in photography at the University of the Arts, UAL. Following five years of training as a photo assistant for severaL international artists, in 2013, he moved from London to New York, where worked on developing an interest in “straight photography” a movement, originally founded by the American pioneers of the early 20th century, by photographers such as Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, and Ansel Adams. Recently, Maurizio has returned to Italy to deepen his photographic studies and research his homeland, to unveil its complexities and universal qualities. His works have been exhibited at the Triennale of Milano, the Armani Silos Art Foundation in Milan, Paratissima Torino, and ArtCity Bologna.
