Alessandro Risuleo
Art Director & Photographer

With over three decades of experience in the world of art and visual communication, Alessandro Risuleo has consolidated his reputation as one of the most influential and respected Art Directors on the international scene. His career, which began as a graphic designer and creative for the calendars of the Italian Air Force in 1994, has seen rapid growth thanks to his unique vision and ability to turn ideas into powerful and memorable images.

In 2000, his expertise in 3D graphics earned him the responsibility of training the video graphics of all the RAI TG schedules. This commitment was followed by the creation of the first video portal dedicated to cinema RAI 1 in 2001 and the artistic direction of the portal of the Italian Ministry of the Interior in 2002.

The year 2003 marked a turning point in his career when he was chosen by the prestigious airline of the Arab Emirates, Ethiad Airways, to rebrand their brand. The creation of the logo, which is still in use today, is a testament to his unrivaled talent. His collaboration with Ethiad was not limited to the logo: he also designed the first livery of the group’s aircraft fleet, further consolidating its reputation in the sector.

In 2006, Alessandro released the UFHO video game for iOS, which was awarded by Apple for its innovation and design.

From 2010 to 2016, Alessandro was head of the digital publishing project called Enhanced Press. With this project, he helped the leading Italian publishing houses to create interactive applications optimized for iOS systems, both for entertainment and educational purposes. The most significant collaborations include PEARSON, Piemme, RCS Media Group, Giunti educational, Giunti Multimedia and Battello a Vapore.

In 2014, Alessandro was selected as a lecturer for the Visual Arts course at IED in Rome, where he continues to share his extensive experience and knowledge with the next generation of artists and designers.

Over the years, Alessandro has continued to collect successes, including winning the competition for the graphic design of the ARPA Lazio brand in 2004, the artistic direction for the Vulcano shopping centre in Sesto San Giovanni and the creation of the portal of the Ministry of Economic Development in 2008, which earned him the Euro-Mediterranean prize as best portal of public administration.

Parallel to his career as an Art Director, Alessandro has embarked on a path of success as a photographer. In 2014, she won the prestigious 1X PHOTO AWARD in the Fine Art Nude category. His photographic art has received international recognition, culminating in the exhibition at QUUENS MUSEUM in New York in 2017, thanks to a collaboration with the dance company Mvula Sungani. During this exhibition, one of his works was purchased by the American Congressman On. Claudia Tenney, finding a place of honor in the White House.

2021 was a year of new challenges and triumphs for Alessandro. He received the bronze medal at the TRIERENBERG SUPER CIRCUIT and represented Italy at the World Photographic Cup, further consolidating his position as one of the most influential and internationally respected photographers.

Alessandro’s enthusiasm for technological innovation has led him to explore the frontiers of augmented and virtual reality, both in his photographic works and in projects commissioned by his clients. This experimentation reached a climax with the event "Cognitive Awareness" at the former Cartiera Latina, where he presented his works in augmented and virtual reality that interacted with a live performance. The event also saw the participation of 20 international artists specialized in digital generative art. In addition, over the past year, Alessandro has expanded his technological horizon by starting to develop mixed reality products and exploiting the advanced capabilities of artificial intelligence.
