Davide Filia

I am an Italian architect and multidisciplinary artist currently based in Vienna. My creative journey began in childhood, evolving through a career in architecture and a deep exploration of various media, from ceramics to drawing and oil painting. Having lived and worked in cultural hubs like Florence, Sicily, Milan, and Berlin, my perspective is shaped by a diverse geographical and professional path.

My artistic research focuses on the male figure, explored through a lens of intimacy and daily life. My work captures the quiet, unposed moments of masculinity—the vulnerability and natural beauty of the male body in domestic or reflective settings. As an architect, I bring a structured understanding of form and space to the canvas, yet my goal remains to celebrate a 'normal' and profound intimacy. Far from being provocative, my art seeks to find the delicate balance between strength and tenderness, offering a contemporary and authentic perspective on the masculine form.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Architecture from the University of Florence. My academic background in architecture has deeply influenced my artistic practice, providing a solid foundation in the study of proportions, spatial relationships, and the structural beauty of the human form.
