A course by Massimo Colonna
Massimo Colonna is an Italian digital artist and creative director of Il Magma studio. The urban landscapes of his childhood, the brutalist architecture, and the evocative atmosphere of some Italian towns have accentuated his taste for contrasts and the materiality of concrete, as well as his colorful and evocative imagery.
After starting a career in photography, Massimo started posting his work on social media, where he was met with rapid success. He later set up on his own and began to chain important projects for brands such as AntonioLupi, ElleDecor Italia, Archiproducts, Marazzi, Mut Design, Lalique Fragrances, Yoox, and many others.
In addition to drawing inspiration from other artists, from great photographers such as Luigi Ghirri and Franco Fontana, to active designers such as Six N. Five, Massimo believes it is essential to experiment, constantly update, and differentiate himself.
