Edouardo Cucciarelli

Edoardo Cucciarelli is a visual artist born in 1990 in Assisi, Italy. He grew up in Spello, a village nestled in the hills of Umbria, before continuing his studies in Bologna, Hamburg, and Brussels, where he developed a practice centered on printmaking and engraving. Today, he divides his time between Brussels—where he heads the printmaking studio at Ateliers du Toner—and Spello, on the slopes of Mount Subasio. His work reflects a poetic tension between nature and ruin, botanical contemplation and post-industrial memory.
“It is perhaps from the effort I make to inhabit these two worlds that the images populating my etchings arise,” he writes.
He is particularly interested in regenerative dynamics, the slow healing of wounded landscapes, and the ways in which the living quietly infiltrates and subverts the rational order of our societies.
