Biography
Federico Bianchi (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1974) was born into the home of a teacher and a lawyer. On his mother’s side, a family of twelve siblings nurtured a mix of amateur and professional painters, engravers, musicians and art teachers. His father, an only child, carried a gift for piano and tenor choir singing. Growing up in this environment, Bianchi became a precocious bassist, guitarist and singer.
He trained in audiovisual techniques and specialized in video, a medium that offered a unique convergence between the rhythms and textures of sound and the principles of image composition, where balances, equilibriums and symmetries can be endlessly recombined.
For many years Bianchi pursued a successful career producing, directing and consulting in multimedia, receiving numerous awards in broadcast television and corporate communications, including an Emmy. His early work with non-linear editing systems revealed the dazzling possibilities of image manipulation. A turning point came with his participation in a documentary on Argentine photographer Aldo Sessa. Reconnecting with Sessa’s prodigious eye, particularly in his more abstract photographs, reawakened Bianchi’s own artistic vision and deepened his fascination with light, texture and plasticity.
From that moment he began developing a visual language rooted in the contemplation of abstract forms latent in life itself but invisible to the hurried eye. What began with an attraction to balance and symmetry grew into a wider search for patterns and energies that connect nature, man-made structures, organic matter, celestial bodies and the human form. Ordered and chaotic at once, these realms converge in his work to reveal the hidden beauty of how time, matter and perception intertwine.
His Body Mandalas, photographic works that fuse geometry, symmetry and the human figure, have become a signature series within his practice, instantly recognizable and widely exhibited. Yet they are part of a broader body of work in which Bianchi seeks to transform how we look at the world. Through each series he brings together different ways of learning to see and offers the viewer an invitation: to perceive the unseen within the visible and to rediscover beauty in what is often overlooked.
Bianchi has lived and worked in Miami, Florida with his family since 2001.
Statement
We are part of an immeasurable whole. From the atomic to the interstellar, from the fragile human body to the vast cosmos, our existence unfolds in both order and chaos. This awareness leads me to search for connections among forms, elements and energies that shape the visible and the invisible.
At the center of this search are my Body Mandalas. Using the human figure as a living matrix, I create contemplative works that merge posture, light and movement into archetypal geometries. Each piece suggests unity and transformation, echoing sacred patterns while also reflecting the vulnerability and impermanence of the body itself. Over the years I have refined this language into a series that balances intricacy with immediacy, inviting the viewer into a contemplative space that resonates on both a visual and emotional level.
Alongside these works, I also explore other manifestations of hidden order and expressive chaos —in nature, architecture, organic matter, light, liquids and celestial forms. Together these explorations form a practice that seeks to retrain perception: to discover the unseen within the visible, and to remind us that the act of creation is limitless.
