Coruzzi was born in Foggia, Italy in 1975. He merges painting and photography
into one imaginative image that offers a new outlook on an otherwise ordinary
urban scene. His artworks represent an authenticity unlike any other: layered, textural, controversial, open to
imagination, colorful, personal, and inspiring.

Coruzzi prefers the content instead of the package. Each artwork translates
into a poetic statement. The artist does
not follow a narrative. He is inspired by single episodes and single thoughts. Coruzzi’s
art is a fluid sequence of ideas projected into social commentary. Each artwork tells a story by detached,
autonomous thoughts. Mixed media techniques mold together these different
perspectives, creating an urban environment.
Coruzzi’s
work encapsulates not only urban environments but the inhabitants as well.
Irony is laced between figures drawn with an energetic architectural hand. His
work is colorful, funny, and biting through resolutely rendered vignettes of
collective cultural consciousness. Coruzzi uses different techniques and media,
including printmaking, photography, drawing, and painting.
Of
his work, he says, “Contemporary culture is made of controversy: modernity
includes ugliness, imperfection, and contamination, anything that creates
texture. Making a statement reduces the possibility for an artist to research
and explore at 360 degrees. Any statement can be changed and reinterpreted
infinite times. I create my art to be free to develop within any direction. Each project of mine is more like a book, or
a movie. It is right there and stays right there. What comes next is life and
its unknown, restless evolution."
