Ettore Favini

Born in Cremona in 1974, Ettore Favini teaches Visual Arts at the Nuova Accademia Belle Arti NABA in Milan and Painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti G. Carrara in Bergamo.

His works are characterized by a narrative dimension and a relationship with the context and history of places; they often spring from personally lived experiences and individual memory, which is useful for proposing general reflections. Also central is the question of identity, probed through participatory and public art projects.
He was recently awarded by the Pollock Krasner Foundation in New York and the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism (MiBACT - DGCC) as part of the Italian Council project.
His works have been exhibited in prestigious Italian and international institutions, including: Kunst Meran Arte, Merano; Carré d'Art Contemporaine, Nîmes (F); PAC, Milan; Museo del Novecento, Milan; GAMeC, Bergamo; Museo MAN, Nuoro; Museo di Villa Croce, Genoa; Autostrada Biennale, Prizren (K); OCAT, Shanghai (RC); SongEun Art Space, Seoul (ROK); Najing International Art Festival, Nanjing (RC); Italian Academy, New York (USA); Fondazione Sandretto, Turin; Villa Medici, Rome.
