London-based Italian artist Quayola (b.1982) creates hybrid spaces of animated painting, sculpture and architecture. He is highly regarded for his enigmatic and entrancing digital video creations that challenge preconceptions about art, architecture, and the concepts according to which sound, movement, composition and colour can two-dimensionally interact.

The artist engages a practice of audio-visual performance, drawing, photography and software programming through which he explores old master paintings and themes, baroque and gothic architecture, neo classical sculpture and the connection between geometry, symmetry, sound and colour. In his videos, the boundary between the real and artificial is broken down: fresco-covered ceilings of the Vatican splinter and seem to bubble without ever losing their geometric composition; colour breathes, cathedral glass dances.
