Carlo Bernardini (Viterbo, 1966) lives and works in Milan where he is a professor of specialization and full professor of painting at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. In 1997 he published the theoretical essay on the "Division of visual unity" published by Stampa Alternativa. He has been working with optical fiber since 1996. His meticulous path of abstraction is a gradual research on the element of the line to conquer its essence, almost a desire to trace the invisible. His visual research focuses today on the concept of perceptive transformation of space through works aimed at sculptural and installation dimensions. The environmental installations, made with optical fibers and electro-luminescent surfaces, create a mental architectural light space, incorporeal but visible, which totally changes the function and structure of the real environment. The light creates a design in space, a design that changes according to the points of view and according to the movements of the viewer, who finds himself living inside the work. His presence in sector exhibitions and international festivals dedicated to light art and experimental multimedia languages ​​is now constant. Among the exhibitions we highlight the XII Quadrennial in Rome in 1996, the XX Triennale in Milan in 2002, Sculpture Space in Utica (NY), the XIV Quadriennale at the Royal Palace in Naples (2003), the installations at the Paço Imperial Museum in Rio De Janeiro (2004), in Valencia (2008) at the Ciudad De Las Artes Y Las Ciencias, Event Orizon (2007) at the Swing Space in New York.
