Giraffe Painting

Marco Domeniconi is an Italian-born visual artist based in New York City. Before devoting himself entirely to art, he earned a Ph.D. in Neuroscience and worked as a research scientist and professor at CUNY and NYU. It was while teaching in these vibrant university settings that he discovered the desire to express his creative identity. He has studied digital and large-format photography at the International Center of Photography, and drawing and painting at the New York Academy of Art. Nowadays, he works with various techniques from moody, unplanned black & white photographs to energetic, colorful abstractions. Both as a painter and as a photographer, he explores the interplay between his actions – direct and indirect - and unexpected events. He has produced private showcases, and participated in exhibitions both in the United States and internationally.
