Claude Andreini was born in Belgium in 1950 and lives in Venice, Italy.
At the age of 17 he began to work with clay sculpture at the Bellas Artes Academy in Liège, creating striking pieces that he colours with pigments, talcum powder and shellac.
Soon after, during a stay in Algeria where he works as a cooperant, he discovered another passion, photography.
He is an artist who travels through textures and volumes from sculpture to photography.
Born as an analogue photographer, he adapted to digital by preparing the photographic printing support with materials such as plaster and paper. Once the photograph is printed, he works it successively with pigments.
The result is unique works, with textures and colours that recall the sensual surface of a sculpture.
