born in Florence (10-11-90), lives and works between Florence and Milan. Grown up between the Florence countryside and the Maremma, Cosimo Casoni finds in his land the origin of his personal research, linked to concepts like instability, balance, identity. Painting, drawing, collage and video are the mediums of his work, often left open to a glimmer of mutual hybridization, melting depiction and abstraction at the same time.
