BIOGRAPHY
Stefano Contiero is an Italian-Dominican self-taught artist born in Bassano del Grappa (IT). During childhood, he developed a strong interest in technology and design, which first led to a career in tech, and later combined into generative art.
This perfect mix of algorithmic and visual arts is Stefano's favorite medium. He explores self-reflection and expression through a continuous feedback loop between his subconscious and technology. His parents' often-clashing cultures and personalities gifted him a fragmented sense of belonging, which plays a big part in his inspiration and is key to understanding himself.
After developing his craft in solitude for many years, he became known for Frammenti (Art Blocks Curated Series 3) and Rinascita (Art Blocks Playground), which led him to be one of the top 20 NFT artists globally in 2021. In addition to creating digital art, nowadays, Stefano also explores ways to integrate physical media in his practice.
