Brief biography of "Ebro"

Andrea Barbarossa, in arts "Ebro", was born in Geneva in July 1967. Later, with the family, comes back to Fabriano where since 1982 he attended the 'State Institute d' Art section of the graphic design and photography. Restless, prolific and unhappy of the cultural climate that surrounds him, after his military service he moves to Milan where he soon gets to the heart of the debate, social and artistic. In 1991, encouraged by the critic Nicola Tedesco and the Architect Claudio Clementi decides to "come forward" to great critics presenting his work. In this way he gets to know so many Masters of the Italian Art with which tightens the bonds of friendship and creative collaboration. In the same year he begins to deepen his professional experience working with some agencies and graphic design studios with prestigious designers and architecture including the Studio Associates Architects Farnese of Milan. In late 1991 he joins the V.I.E. (Venture Innocent Exil) Multiart where more and deeper is the contamination with creative realities related to the world of multimedia communication that project works towards increasingly linked to 'use, mostly experimental, new technologies.

In 1992 he works for the realization of the magazine of Art and Culture "Il Cappello sulla Folla" for which he became artistic director. Enriched by the big media experiences in Milan and Rome, committed to work with realities always closer to video art, he shifts its focus, for a period, to other creative experiences and in 1994 after a brief collaboration with the National Festival of Theatre School Serra S. Quirico approaches the reality of Theater. Fascinating and very distant from the experience gained up to that time, the theater does not move him away from the video productions, in fact from 1991 to 1999 there are countless presences of Ebro in the panorama of 'Art with exhibitions of sculptures and multimedia installations and performances: from "Il Campo dell 'Arte "- “Festival Dei Due Mondi” in Spoleto to" “Urbano Effimero"- San Remo, from" L' Ira di Miriam "-Cetona at " Combines "- Milan. At the end of 1999 he returns to Fabriano decides to try again with the theater, and right on the stage at the Teatro Gentile matures the technical experience necessary to weave a network of partnerships with major national realities linked to theater and music. In 2001 he constitutes the Media & Media and in 2005 the 'Service Area ferrying Ebro in the stands sectors of audio, video and lighting. Since then he has participated in the technical realization of many productions and tours, alongside of the largest and representative artists of the theater and music, for major productions including: Compagnia della Rancia, Ballandi Entertainment, Fox & Gold, Fidia Film and The Sistine. Many others are the technical collaborations that have seen him on the stages of several Italian theaters with the major performances produced and with the “Bigs” of the national lighting panorama. Numerous are the technical and creative contributions shared with some contemporary Masters of the caliber of Maestro Mimmo and Armando Cattarinich and Maestro Mario Sasso and just as there are many shows and events whose lights are signed by Andrea Barbarossa.

The experiences gained in the circuits multimedia, first, and in the areas related to 'creative use of light, then, have developed, in artistic research of Ebro, the creation of works where the video component is increasingly dominant enough to produce realizations exclusively linked to video art. Considered by the critics one of the protagonists of the emerging 'Art, Ebro, with his video works, in recent years has achieved prestigious acknowledgements and awards.
