artist
Giuliano Amedeo Tosi, born in Bern in 1992, has established himself as a distinctive artistic presence, cultivating his creative identity prominently through the digital realm of Instagram. Operating under the handle @giuliano_tosi, Tosi has leveraged the platform over the past four years as a dynamic channel for engagement. He shares profound insights into his artistic process and fosters a vibrant community around his work.
Elevating the human form to a central theme, Tosi's oeuvre frequently navigates the contours of nudity and scenes of intimacy. This unapologetic exploration of the human experience has brought its own challenges, as the artist has faced censorship and shadowbanning on Instagram due to the explicit nature of some of his creations.
In the cultural landscape of Switzerland, Tosi's impact is palpable. His works and projects have sparked intense discussions in the media, earning him recognition for his ability to initiate profound dialogues.
Tosi's artistic footprint has transcended national boundaries, resonating on an international scale. His pieces have been showcased in various exhibitions and publications across diverse locales, including the USA, the United Arab Emirates, Nepal, Italy, and his native Switzerland.
statement
In my art, I explore the deepest levels of human intimacy, identity, and societal currents. My series "Intimacy & Identity" celebrates the diversity of genders, ethnicities, and bodies, including those often marginalized.
My conceptual works such as "Frauendrucker," "Schwarze Berge," and "Indisoc2100" address societal issues in innovative ways. "Frauendrucker" questions the objectification of the female body by using living brushes. "Schwarze Berge" delves into the social and political currents in Switzerland (in collaboration with the Climate Protection Association of Switzerland), and "Indisoc2100" illuminates futuristic visions of our society.
The challenges of censorship and the phenomenon of shadowbanning on digital platforms like Instagram have inspired me to make my work bolder and more provocative. Despite these obstacles, I have built an engaged community around my work.
My art is a call for empathy and openness, an invitation to explore and celebrate the diversity of human experience. By intertwining personal experiences with contemporary social currents, I strive to initiate profound dialogues and encourage viewers to challenge their own prejudices and perspectives.​
In my latest series, I explore the sea, delving into its vastness and mystery to evoke themes of exploration and the unknown.
