Riccardo Matlakas

My name is Riccardo Attanasio in art Matlakas, I am an Italian artist who came to London in 2006 establishing my first studio/Atelier and at the same time operating with intervention for various event and residencies worldwide. I have been participating to Moscow Biennale, 2010, Gwangju Biennale, 2014 but also did a lot of work regarding the current issue of the refugee crisis, working closely with Palestinians and South Africans but also a lot my own, creating street interventions related to the issue. In many cased those interventions have been showed also in live art events. I am a performance artist who’s work based in the responsibility as an artist towards all living species and the conscious development of how to be a full human being in order to live life properly. I also create platform for thinking and openly discuss the possibility of growth, where listening is the main activity. I am also a painter and mosaic artist and use these media to have conversation with myself which I then deliver it out.
