Federico Dix was born in Florence, Italy, in 1973. A musician, he graduated from the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles with a degree in guitar in 1998 and later extended his expertise to the figurative arts. In the early 2000s, as a curator, he organized exhibitions such as Gianfranco Draghi’s Burattini animali and Enzo Butera’s Coloro nel calore at the Lulù Art Gallery in Fiesole. In the years that followed, he devoted himself to photography, traveling extensively across Europe, Asia, and America. He soon became fascinated by the different cultural and social expressions he encountered. He created photographic reports, notably People from the City, People from the World (Waterstones, Piccadilly, London, 2012). His photographs aim to uncover the extraordinary within the ordinary, capturing the emotional and spiritual essence of everyday people, objects, scenes and matter itself. Federico now lives in Arles, France.
