Magda chiarelli
Born in Milan and grown up between Emilia and Romagna, I have always brought back the enterprise and the eclecticism of the first place, joint with the enthusiasm and the joy of living of the second ones.
I started painting when I was a child, thanking to my family teachings and I continued following the studios of some maestros and drama schools: thanking to a degree in Modern Literature and another in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera, I started a new research on colour and painting and on the world of performance, installations and visual arts in general.
I am really interested in experiencing several media and materials and in proving myself with no limits to make my job increasingly meaningful and personal, so in 2017 I began the PhotoPaintingFusion, a technique in which a photograph and a painting specifically created are melted, losing concreteness and substance, in order to create the sensation of being immersed in a thick atmosphere with a different time and space thanking to their fusion: the colours are communication and magic, so we lose ourselves in their never-ending possibilities to feel every new evocation and this makes us free and give us the possibility of going out of our cages.

Claudio Stefanoni
His passion stems from the change. When he was 9 he looked for a different education, so that he joined the local scout group, where he meets not only the photography through the representation of the light filtered by the trees and by the emotions of his moments in life, but also the substance of the work as a public and useful role, and the spirituality by listening.
He suspended the spiritual phase at 21 in order to embrace the rebellion, the awareness, and the evolution. Always coupled with lonely hours and photo shoots of the mountains and his own town, accidentally and voraciously he becomes interested in the world of the physic, the Greek philosophy, and in C. G. Jung.
Reached maturity and being dissatisfied with his own researches, he widens his scope to the Orient, thanking to the interaction with the Venerable Lama Paljin Tulku Rinpoche, who introduces him to an enriching inner growth path, gifting distilled wisdom and leading to a further and continuous change.
The crucial encounter with the performer and visual artist Magda Chiarelli at 28 is vital for the fusion between the Master’s Vajrayana teachings and the Accademy of Fine Arts of Brera ones.
Thereafter he combines the skills gained from the Buddhist training with the medium of the photo camera.
