Bio Fabrizio Cestari (born January 13. 1979), is a commercial photographer, fine-art photographer, music video director and artist.
His photography style sometimes references art history and is rich of subliminal and ironic messages.  As a child he took down and reassembled his father collection of cameras.
His only toys were superheroes, pin – up Barbies and gloomy dolls which later he starts to collect until now. Because he studied constantly, driven by a need to learn as much as possible as well as to escape from the real life of his generation, he preferred the loneliness, so he came in touch with the main inspiration of the pop and surreal and by his own photography evolution, he  created a remarkable and renewed fantasy world.
Photographer and director Fabrizio Cestari is the Winner of numerous international awards such as the Sony World Photography one, he is also veteran of the victory of the 1st prize at the International Photography Awards in NY, the most important recognition in the photography world. His style is inspired by surreal and slightly irreverent, he created portraits for the most important celebrities like Al Pacino, Woody Allen, Dustin Hoffman, Eleonora Abbagnato, Roberto Bolle, Abel Ferrara, Willem Dafoe, Spike Lee, Stromae and Bob Sinclair.
He also started his career as director in 2012, directing tv shows. He won the Medimex award 201 3 for the best music video with “La nuova stella di Broadway” of Cesare Cremonini.

OASIS BLUE FOREST by LUCIO MICHELETTI

featuring SUNBRELLA Fabric

at THE JAMES ROYAL PALM

1545 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139

DECEMBER 4th to 6th 2014

“Blue Forest is a conceptual work of art that reflects how easily our environment can be changed. I transformed the trees at The James Royal Palm by enveloping them in blue Sumbrell frabric…not to hjide the identity of the trees but rather to serve as a figurative bandage of environmental concern, in the hopes of stimulating a new sensibility and ecological understanding”.

This installation of Land Art, “Blue Forest”, intends to give the viewer an experience that creates awareness of environmental issues through the use of art.

Tree trunks are wrapped with blue fabric, creating a stage and temporary effect (touchable). The colour blue (in natural light,) is chosen by the artist to encourage the viewer to reflect on the installation’s environmental message. Showing the viewer that only simple changes are needed in the tree’s appearance, to bring awareness of how little it takes to change the environment. Representing a simple and effective concept for preservation.

“Blue Forest” changes a place in a spectacular but temporary way. The ecological balance of the place and use of natural materials are taken into consideration.

Ludmilla Radchenko was born in Omsk, Siberia on 11 november 1978, where in 1999 awards a degree in Fashion Design. In the same year she moves to Italy to work as a model, show-girl and actress. In 2009 she chooses to pursue her greatest passion: painting. Instinctive and vital, her loud voice art, dressed with real life drives her toward PopRealism. Since december 2010 her first catalogue “Power Pop” edited by Skira can be found in Feltrinelli libraries with a critic essay by Fortunato D’Amico. Ludmilla creates a painting for a champion of moto GP Jorge Lorenzo, for F1 world’s champion Sebastian Vettel, for the rock star Jamiroquai. Far from presenting the object again and again in an hyperbolic and obsessive way as seen in the “classic” pop tradition, Radchenko loads it with social content in open accusation to its exploitation. In deference to the pop spirit, Radchenko, doesn’t limit her interest to canvas but spreads her touch to fashion and design too.

The “Siberian soup” FullART by Ludmilla Radchenko was registered as a new brand. Ludmilla’s explosive art feeds itself with real life, icons, tragedies, common successes and hopes. Photos and scans give birth to digital creations, which combined with painting create compositions enriched of visual messages, collage of real life with touches of irony.

Ludmilla Radchenko’s reflections she has dedicated herself to transcribe upon the canvas her observations on the world start with the recognition that she herself is an active fragment of a communication network that stretches well beyond the fashion system. For a young woman of the contemporary West from a culture unlike our own, the difficulty is clear in reading a history of protagonists raised to the status of heroes and to transgressive myths belonging to an industrial and a post-industrial generation with POP elements. What will become of our contemporary legends? For a short time they will remain and their names, postures, clothes, slogans, music will be recognized, up to becoming echoes that will disappear in the depths of space time. Only art will remain before future humanity, and each time it will be rediscovered amidst deserts and under the stars.

Her unique style, which utilizes bright color, blends photography, digital collage and lively acrylic painting. With her unmistakable style, Radchenko interprets a series of eight artworks for Ruco Line, giving birth to pop emblems to be worn on sneakers, maxi sweaters, leggings and scarves. The artist literally “spells” the brand through a series of flags, where each letter represents the initial of a country or a city that symbolizes an important step in Ruco Line’s history and international development. In 2014, Ruco Line had a similar artistic partnership with Gagosian Gallery when they collaborated on a limited edition mirrored shoe created by French architect Jean Nouvel.

A series of daily events and performances are planned at the Ca’ d’Oro gallery during Basel week.  These will include a VIP reception with the Italian Consul General, fashion shows and a series of dance performances.
