Premio Combat Prize

Gian Maria Marcaccini studied contemporary art and visual design at the D.A.M.S. and the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, at the Brera’s Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, at the Barnett College in London, at the Fondazione Antonio Ratti for contemporary arts in Como and finally at the European Institute of Design in Rome.
The artist dedicates himself to visual art including installations, video art, sculpture, photography. He was still a student when he first gained recognition by important art magazines such as Flash Art.
After a period of time in which he focused mostly on visual communication design he returned to painting: portraiture enables him to see the nature of men and himself more clearly.
