Please join us this First Friday for The Art of Style's Gallery Showcase featuring Nicollo Varrella. Come sip, shop, snack, and talk with the artist and others in the community as we come together to celebrate art and life. Here is a brief biography of the artist to get a feel for who he is and how he is evolving... see you from 19-22.
Niccolò Varrella is a young 24-year-old photographer. He became passionate about photography at the beginning of high school. After graduating as a surveyor, he decided to enrol in the Faculty of Architecture, which he did not finish as he realized it was not what he wanted to study. After two years spent doing various jobs, he took the decision to enrol at the Libera Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, enrolling in the photography course, where he has currently completed the three years of courses and only has to do his thesis. During his years of study he produced various fashion editorials with emerging fashion designers, some of which were published in independent magazines. In September 2022, he was selected to take part in the third edition of "Folio", the Masterclass organised by Ph Museum, during which, thanks to the tutors and other participants, he developed and concluded "Ab aqua", the project that would take him to the finals of Portfolio Italia 2023. In October 2023 he exhibited his project at the Biennale dei Giovani Fotografi in Bibbiena and won first prize at the exhibition's portfolio reading. In the same month, he also exhibited the dummy of his project at PH Museum Days 23. One of his photographs taken from the 'Valle dei Solitar' project was awarded second place at the 'Premio Fotografico 2023' organised by HuffPost Italy.
