Alessandro Bavari was born in Italy in 1963 and attended the Accademy of Fine Arts in Rome, studying scenography and art history. After studying oil painting, watercolour and engraving, he began to evolve his technique using mixed media including tar, glue, industrial paint and chemical photographic etching. The forms used to create the images came from various natural objects such as bones, plants, fossils. In 1993, he discovered the computer, allowing him to go beyond the limits of his manual techniques.
According to Alessandro, "I treat the computer like any other working instrument, like a brush or palette or a darkroom. Using Photoshop misses out the manual manipulation stage, but allows me to go straight to the thinking process. However, there are certain processes, like etching on metal with chemicals, which the computer can emulate, but never replace."
