Vittorio Bonapace is an Italian artist whose work bridges tradition and innovation, merging digital and physical media to explore the dialogue between classical masters and contemporary themes.
Trained in Stage and Production Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and a former set designer at the Teatro dell’Opera, he developed a deep mastery of light and spatial composition, both central to his practice.
Internationally recognized for his phygital approach, Bonapace has exhibited at major venues including Art Basel Miami, Sotheby’s Paris, Frieze Seoul, the Saatchi Gallery London, and Dolce & Gabbana’s From the Heart to the Hands exhibition.
Featured in Exibart’s 222 Artists to Invest In and in leading international art magazines, he is represented by Zanini Arte.
A portrait of the British Queen created not by human hands but by machines.
While traditional portraits emphasize grandeur and pride, this piece explores subtler, more introspective emotions.
Bonapace turns his gaze to the quiet solitude of London and its monarchy, transforming the royal figure into a universal symbol of isolation.
The digital work becomes the basis for a physical transposition on canvas: pixels turn into pigment, and the machine’s precision becomes tangible matter.
The resulting painting is not a reproduction but an evolution — a meditation on the intersection of technology and craftsmanship, detachment and intimacy, transience and permanence.
In the Harmonia Synthetica series, Vittorio Bonapace envisions a universe where classical tradition meets technological hybridization, generating visions suspended between myth and the future.
Works such as Hellenica, Ludica Futura, Memento Mori, and Deus Ex Machina inhabit museum-like and theatrical spaces where android figures and synthetic landscapes reinterpret icons of Western art.
Despite their futuristic atmosphere, each piece is crafted through a fully artisanal digital process: 3D modeling and sculpting, rendering, photographic post-production, and traditional animation.
No image is AI-generated — Bonapace builds his worlds pixel by pixel, merging classical precision with contemporary digital languages.
Harmonia Synthetica neither glorifies nor condemns technology; it tests it against time and doubt.
The result is a visual language that unites digital craftsmanship and historical iconography, inviting viewers to question where the human ends and the machine begins — and whether harmony between the two is possible.
