ANDREA BIANCONI


ARTIST BIO

"There is always an idea of travel in my
work. Everything has a direction, when
we talk, we listen, we eat, we think and
when we breathe. The arrow is
universal. Even the sunrise, a
wondering leaf that falls and a growing
flower all have a direction. The arrow
is universal; it is everywhere.”
-Andrea Bianconi
