Andrea Rovatti works in Milan where he is involved in photography, communication design and art installations.

He began working very young as an assistant in a fashion photography studio, then the meeting with Enzo Mari and the attraction for graphic design: since then photography and graphics constantly coexist in his work.

As she developed her creative experience, she approached art, which increasingly permeates her work, with research developed on the theme of the ambiguity of perception.

Indeed, he works on a representation that combines reality and the imaginary. He often works with sequential, repeated images, creating the coexistence of figurative and abstract in an alternating play of visual perception.

In 2022 he received the Academic Title of Merit from the Academy of Fine Arts of Perugia, an institution of Higher Artistic Education founded in 1573.

He has been president of ADI_ Association for Industrial Design, Lombardy Delegation.
He has been a member of the National Board of Directors of AIAP (Italian Association for Visual Communication).
