Gabriele Micalizzi

Nato a MI, verso Nord, a Cascina Gobba, ma con origini molto a Sud. Forgiato in periferia, classe '84. Partito dal fondo dovevo sgomitare: davo del tu al disagio. Per colpa di uno di quei bug umani chiamato sensibilità ho conosciuto l’arte. Vandalo più che writer, dai tatuaggi alla fotografia: il passaporto per la libertà: viaggiare nel mondo raccontando la vita e la morte. Sono finito in guerra: un disagio peggiore di quello da cui scappavo.

ENG:
Born in 1984 in the Cascina Gobba area of Milan, but with roots much further south, Gabriele Micalizzi is a child of the outskirts. Starting from the bottom, he had to claw his way up, on a permanent first name basis with disadvantage. As fate would have it, his innate sensitivity led him to art, though he sees himself more as a vandal than a writer. From tattoos to photography, art is his passport to freedom, a chance to travel the world, portraying matters of life and death. He ended up in a war, in the midst of suffering much greater than anything he was running from.
