Luigi Mallozzi

Born in 1995, Luigi Mallozzi followed an unconventional path to the canvas. With a background in scientific studies and a career in nursing, he fully embraced his artistic calling in 2020 through digital illustration under the moniker "Strati di Blu".

His work quickly gained international resonance: a notable collaboration with the New York Justice League led one of his pieces to become a recognized symbol of the Black Lives Matter movement. Empowered by this impact and after winning several art residencies and competitions, Luigi made a radical life choice—he left the medical field to dedicate his life entirely to his art.

Driven by a deep desire to explore tactile, physical mediums, he transitioned from digital screens to traditional canvas. In 2023, he enrolled in the Painting program at the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. Today, alongside his academic research, he actively exhibits his evolving body of work and collaborates as an organizer and curator for cultural projects.
