I am Michele Del Campo, originally from San Nicandro Garganico, southern Italy. My childhood involved drawing and cycling. At 18, my family moved to Milan, where I began studying Fine Arts but soon felt disillusioned. At 20, I started a global pilgrimage.
I studied Illustration in Falmouth and Dundee, then continued in Madrid, where I began exhibiting my work. A significant career highlight was winning the “Premio BMW” in 2006 and completing my Master of Fine Arts in 2007.
I moved to London in 2008, then to Glasgow in 2016, adopting a nomadic lifestyle from 2017. By 2023, I settled in Miami.
I have showcased my art in cities such as Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona, and San Francisco. My work blends elements from various places, focusing on the stories and emotions of individuals, exploring themes of uprooting, vitality, solitude, and the transience of life while moving beyond realism.
