Damien Cifelli

Damien Cifelli is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the fictitious land of Tarogramma; a hidden world that explorers have long been searching for in vain.
His work is focused around the idea of fictional anthropology and storytelling. Through painting and sculpture he builds a detailed culture; with its own aesthetic, way of living, and understanding of the world, that is at once alien and eerily similar to our own.
