Federico Bianchi -Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1974 was born into a family (on his mother’s side) of amateur engravers and painters. Following the musical inclinations of his father’s family, and in parallel to his other activities, Federico was also a precocious bass, guitar player and singer. He trained in audiovisual techniques and ended up specializing in video, which offers a unique convergence between the rhythms and textures of sound and the fascinating principles of pre narrative, image composition: the endless combinations of different balances, equilibriums and symmetries. From that moment, Federico became interested in contemplating and recreating the abstract shapes latent in life itself but that remain invisible to the naked eye, trapped as they are by the vertigo of day-to-day life.
For over a decade he led a successful career producing, directing and in multimedia consulting. Federico has received many awards in the field of Broadcast TV and corporate communications, including an Emmy. His initiation to non-linear editing systems revealed the dazzling possibilities of image manipulation. But it was his participation in a documentary about Argentine photographer Aldo Sessa that triggered the start of his own journey as a visual artist. Having followed courses in this area before, resuming contact with Sessa’s prodigious eye was a milestone for Bianchi, particularly in lesser-known, more abstract photographs, which reveal his masterly handling of light and his plastic quality. While creating his own language through the eye of the camera and transforming our view of the world, Federico brings together multiple ways of learning how to look and poses a key invitation to the viewer: learn to see the unseen in that which is visible.
About his series ‘Body mandalas’ Federico Bianchi tells us:
“I’ve been meticulously creating dozens through the years perfecting my technique both in the model shooting, postproduction and printing-framing.
Each body mandala is unique in its way. Some have more pure and simple forms, and some can be really intriguing and complex… making you dive in its forms for long periods of time either for it’s geometry or their ability to connect with its sacred geometry.”
