Alessandro Simonini (b. 1985) is an Italian multimedia artist currently living and working in Milan, Italy.
He has a BSc in Philosophy (Aesthetics) at University of Bologna and an Acting Degree at School of Theatre Louis Jouvet, in Bologna. Then he studied Fine Arts DAMS at University of Bologna.
In his work Alessandro Simonini is a researcher before he is an artist, recreating a space where self-awareness and symbol interact alchemically with the viewer. His sculptural research begins where the question arises about the origin of the work of art which essentially has to do with truth, through an “autoptic- philosophical” method of investigation and towards the elaboration of a thought on relationship between body and spirit.

Nel XX Arcano dei Tarocchi, l’Arcangelo Michele scende dal cielo suonando la tromba e risveglia i morti dalle loro tombe, per sottoporli al Giudizio Universale. Eppure non temiamo tanto il giudizio alla fine dei tempi quanto la sua esistenza in noi stessi e le sue influenze nella nostra vita quotidiana. Il giudizio è nascosto nelle nostre idee su come il mondo dovrebbe essere.
Ancora nell’Universo accade ciò che deve accadere, e il senso di ciò che è giusto o sbagliato esiste solo nella mente umana, che divide in due ciò che è Uno. La realtà è la nostra proiezione e quando giudichiamo gli altri condanniamo solo noi stessi, o meglio aspetti della nostra psiche che non accettiamo.
In the XX Arcanum of the Tarot, the Archangel Michael descends from the sky playing the trumpet and awakens the dead from their graves, to subject them to the Last Judgment.
Yet we don’t really fear the judgment at the end of the times as much as its existence within ourselves and its influences in our everyday life. Judgement is hidden in our ideas on how the world should be.
Still in the Universe happens what must happen, and the sense of what is right or wrong exists only within the human mind, that divides into two what is One. Reality is our projection and when we judge others we condemn only ourselves, or better aspects of our psyche that we don’t accept.
