Biography
Bram Belloni (The Netherlands, 1976) has been working as freelance editorial photographer for magazines, news papers and clients in the scientific and cultural sector for over two decades.
Since 2022 he started working on more personal, autonomous work – as emerging visual artist.
Photography, with its wide array of techniques and visual culture, plays a large role in this new work.
This combined with other visual techniques (collage, print and signage, visual communication), is the starting point in his search for his identity as artist – and the search in establishing a sustainable art practice.
Art about art, and the art practice as a business.
“I’m in the business of becoming an artist”
