Andrea Martinucci

Andrea Martinucci (b. 1991, Rome, Italy) is a visual artist who lives and works in Milan. Rooted in painting and informed by digital and cinematic languages, his practice explores how images take shape and how fictional and real-world characters converge within scenarios that blur the boundaries between reality and fiction. Through strategies of framing, movement, duration, and editing, Martinucci displaces images and everyday objects from their familiar contexts, questioning established modes of perception and representation.

His research investigates the relationship between memory and altered states of consciousness, considering images not only as representations but as critical spaces. In his recent work, the body emerges as a site where personal memories intersect with collective ideals and social expectations. Through figures suspended between movement and stillness, presence and disappearance, his work explores questions of identity, heritage, and debt, blurring the boundaries between social roles and representations of power.

His work has been presented at institutions including Fondazione Giuliani (Rome, 2026); Fondazione Baruchello (Rome, 2025); GAMeC (Bergamo, 2025); Museu Nacional da República (Brasília, 2025); Triennale Milano (2023); Aldea (Bergen, 2023); Fondazione ICA (Milan, 2022); Istituto Centrale per la Grafica (Rome, 2022); MACRO (Rome, 2021); Italian Cultural Institute (Los Angeles, 2021); ZETA – Contemporary Art Center (Tirana, 2021); and Palazzo Reale (Milan, 2019).
