Enrico Benetta

Graduated in 2001 in decoration from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice and began his artistic journey through contemporary art. The work of Benetta is characterized by a language that moves on different stylistic registers, admirably rendered by the strong personality of the artist, full of desire to communicate, in which cultural sources distant to each other blend together.

Trademark of his works, whether paintings or installations, is the typeface per excellence, Bodoni, which became the artist’s signature style, the basis for the creation of an original and random visual storyline.
