Born in 1959, Marco Ambrosi made his debut as a photographer of architecture at the age of 20, later exploring new forms of expression and specializing in still life and surrealistic images. Most recently his interests have expanded to include the human figure and the portrait. An experimenter from the outset, Ambrosi dedicates great effort and energy to artistic experimentation, realizing works that have earned him worldwide recognition (view fine art photography at www.marcoambrosi.it). In 2003 part of his most recent work was presented in the volume La Serra Oscura/The Dark Side of the Moon, edited by Prearo with texts by Luca Beatrice and Till Neuburg. He is a member of ADCI and TAU VISUAL.
