A Bit About Me

Vincenzo Cohen is an Italian multidisciplinary social artist and writer. He earned the MFA from Fine Arts Academy and the MD in Archaeology from "La Sapienza" University in Rome. His production ranges from visual arts to writing exploring cultural and historical content as well as issues related to social and environmental justice. The path of the artist is focused on nature and environmental issues, since childhood, when after a trip to Kenya he suffered from a strong nostalgia for Africa. At the age of eleven, that first contact with African nature arouses emotions that will deeply affect the artist's existential perspective. Unstoppable traveler and desert passionate, his photographic reports focus on extreme ecosystems, animal resilience and battles for survival. The interest in history pushes him to investigate human origins through historical narratives and representation of archetypes and myths accross the Mediterranean. His paintings address different issues including human rights, fight against hate speech and prevarications of power, representation of unconscious content related to human expression. His work has been featured in International literary journals including Vocivia Magazine, Epoch, Cosmic Daffodil Journal, Arte, Superpresent, Cutbank, L'Esprit, The AutoEthnographer, Decapitate, Ake Review, NNC Art Magazine and others. The artist collaborates with some humanitarian organizations and nature conservancy foundations for the dissemination of social and environmental awareness content.
