Bio:
Benedetto is a visual artist with a graphic and conceptual style who has been working for publishers, advertisers and institutions. His work has been recognized and exhibited by The Society of Illustrators of New York and Los Angeles, American Illustration, Latin American Illustration, Communication Arts, 3×3 and Lürzer's Archive. He was born in Siena on April 25, 1983. After graduating from the Psycho-Pedagogical Lyceum, he attended the Multimedia Illustration and Animation course at the European Institute of Design in Milan. He soon began to work as an Illustrator and Art Director at some advertising agencies and then exclusively worked as a freelance illustrator. His work is characterized by a graphic, concise, conceptual and highly communicative style, halfway between art, design, and publishing. Benedetto uses simplified, often almost geometric forms, reducing detail to the bare minimum. Everything is clear, legible, and direct. Color, with bold, contrasting, often flat palettes, is not decoration, but rather structures the image and the message. The images don't depict realistic "scenes", but very clear ideas and visual metaphors. No chaos, no doubt. Every element is placed there with precise intention. Selected Clients:
