Sergio Figliolia

I was born in Salerno, Italy, in 1978, where I graduated in Electronic Engineering.
At the time I was taking my first photographs I was studying jazz music.
I quit playing music when I realised I could use photography as a means of communication instead.
I have subsequently studied the language of photography, reportage photography and photo editing at Officine Fotografiche and post production at 10b Photography.
The personal projects I feel the most are the ones analysing the relationship between man and landscape and the way they interact with each other.
My work has been exhibited and featured at Fondazione Forma (Milan), “Festival dell’autore Diecilune” (Naples), Fotoleggendo 2012 (Rome), the RPS Biennial 2013 (Royal Albert Hall, London and other galleries in the UK), the 156th RPS International Print Exhibition, Le Journal de la Photographie.
I hold an Associateship (ARPS) Distinction of the Royal Photographic Society.
I am represented by Zoxx Gallery (NL) and Galleria Gallerati (Rome).
I have lived and worked in Italy, Hungary, Germany, the UK, and Sweden and currently live in Rome.
