Alessandro Matassa
Bodypainter, photographer, and multidisciplinary artist has created a series on his expressive artistic research.

Alessandro Matassa, Art Education teacher (Scuola Duse, Bari), is a bodypainter specializing in fluorescent techniques and artistic photography. A student of the master Maurizio Ghiglia, he explores photographic research involving body, light, and rebirth.

The iconic “Ri-scatto” project (IRCCS Tumori Bari): fluorescent body painting on cancer patients, redemption through art – permanent exhibitions at the Giovanni Paolo II Institute. The performance “Soulglower” (At Full Blast, Palazzo Miani-Perotti), inspired by Franco Sannicandro’s abstract art.

He experiments with raku, clay, singing, saxophone, and harmonica, creating surreal universes where the body becomes a living canvas. Collaborations with professional photographers, fluorescent sets that “illuminate the darkness.”

“Fluorescent highlights shapes, transcends limits: art that gives life to the darkness.”

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5) – A reminder of the invincible power of divine light.
