ALESSANDRO FILIPPINI

ALESSANDRO FILIPPINI

Lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. Born in Rome in 1946 and graduated both from the Accademia di San Luca, Rome, and from the ENSAAV, Brussels, Alessandro Filippini is a sculptor. He plays a lot with natural light and most of his pieces are created for the outside. His diptic piece « Hier Demain » (Yesterday Tomorrow) explores Filippini’s interest in the past, the future and the present. In his work, the present plays an important role. The other piece, « Porte du deuxième paradis » is a tribute to the Paradise Gate in Florence, Italy.
