BIO
(1995) lives and works between Milan and Lausanne.
His practice is rooted in the observation of everyday life, of common situations that provide the primary material the artist extrapolates in order to present it again, condensed into micro narratives or objects that evoke real life experience. His work is developed through the use of different media and materials, including texts, ceramics, artist draws mainly on his own background and autobiographical experiences, focusing in particular on the apparently banal and comical details of everyday life.
The scenes and characters taken from reality show their weaknesses and contradictions, their irresolute side, concerning their personality, crushed and fed by hyperquestioning, hypochondria and the consequent melancholy, which characterises the artist’s gaze and production.
The feeling of melancholy permeates De Bernardi’s installations which present a world in miniature as if observed from far away.
