Biography & CV

Stefano Ferrari (b. 1996, Gallarate) lives and works between Ferno and Milan. His research explores non-human forms of life and ethology as a cathartic response to anthropogenic impact, inviting viewers to witness a magical moment in which artifice becomes a substitute for human presence.

He trained in Sculpture at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, where he earned both his BA and MA degrees (2016–2023). In 2024, he attended a masterclass at MUSE – Science Museum in Trento, led by Stefano Cagol and Bianca La Torre.

His individual projects and collaborations include PAV, Turin (2026); Riottosa, Florence (2025); Giardini di Pomona, Bari (2025); and the Department of Agronomy and Botany at Università Cattolica, Piacenza (2024).

He has participated in several group exhibitions, including Castel Belasi, Trento (2025); Spazio Volta, Bergamo (2023); Torre Massimiliana, Venice (2022); Villa Giuliana, Como (2021); Cavallerizza Reale, Turin (2018); and Museo della Tecnica Elettrica, Pavia (2017).
