Biography

Federico B. Alliney was born in and lives in Milan.

He was awarded a degree at the “Istituto Europeo di Design” and followed this with courses at the School of Design in Hanover where he learnt projecting and prototyping skills that, together with his passion for motors, inspired him in his paintings dedicated to “Motorismo”.

As an internationally renowned artist of Italian descent, Federico B. Alliney chose to establish himself in Italy, motivated to bring strength and vigor to Italian contemporary art through collaboration.

He has been at the forefront of avant-garde hyper-realism in Italian illustration.

Over the years he has lived and worked internationally as well as in different regions in Italy.  This has given him the opportunity to learn innovative concepts, and introduce unusual sceneries and different cultures to enrich his artistic intenseness.

With every artistic project he challenges himself to interpret the deeper meaning of shape, colors and motion that evoke an event, extracting and giving value to the esthetic  contents, these attract the unconscious  toward the artworks. The result, instinctively, awakens the deepest part of the viewer. In some cases the artworks are completed collocating the object, the car, in its own world to amplify its deeper nature, its real essence.

In Cinema his paintings often inspire Directors to achieve impossible and fantastic atmospheres. He creates and imagines scenes for James Cameron’s “AVATAR” and Peter Jackson's “The Lovely Bones” in the creation of the pre heaven world and the world of the movie “District 9”.

His first collaboration in the cinema field is with the Oscar winner Director Giuseppe Tornatore, who uses his painting to imagine the labyrinth of 1940’s New York in the memorable “The legend of 1900” . This is followed by the landscapes of the “dream” in “Malena”;  then again “Jesus” in collaboration with RAI and many others in which the fantasy vision must reach its pinnacle.

During the making of movies he meets and collaborates with some of best-known names in cinema, and as a consequence acquires a particular sensitivity for the depth of images and the play of lights and shadow.  From this Federico B. Alliney develops a new technique, which he calls “painting with light”, to build and conceive a painting.

The artist’s other works include the creation of the view of the opening ceremony for Turin’s 2006 Olympics, collaboration on the “Milano 2015” project imaging the futuristic sceneries required, and in 2010 he painted the official poster dedicated to the Alfa Romeo Centenary.

In 2012 Federico Bozzano Alliney makes available Art works from his collection to the Brescia 1000 mille Miglia Museum, in a permanent exhibition, both as a mark of reciprocal appreciation and in recognition of a common passion for motors.

In 2013 the artist actively participates to the ideation  of the event “Tripoli Grand Prix”,  he is still committed in artistic direction of this project.
