Andrea Mastrovito (born in Bergamo in 1978, lives and works between Bergamo and New York) is an Italian multimedia artist well-known for his ability to define drawing through different medias, from sheet to installation to animated feature films, all enhanced with storytelling skills that allow him to engage each and every form of expression.

Graduated in 2001 at Academy of Fine Arts G. Carrara in Bergamo, from the mid 2000’s Mastrovito has had exhibitions in museums and Biennals all over the world.
