Cover Artist - Giulio Rangoni
Art is about reflecting reality. While art may reflect reality, it also acts as an expression of imagination.
Giulio Rangoni is one such artist, who exemplifies the same. Being raised in Italy, Giulio moved to
USA when he was 19 for studying entrepreneurship and innovation. Here’s his views and story as
an artist,
Q. How did your journey as an artist begin?
Giulio: It was at a very early age as my family were having an atelier at our house in Italy, I
used to paint acrylic on canvases, as I was obsessing on the monster figures from my imagination.
During my teenage years I picked up urban photography and I have always wanted a way
to connect to these different artistic worlds that coexisted in my mind. After this period, I have
focused on digital collages which you can find now on my Instagram account “ @kant_onata “
Q. What are the different forms of artworks that you do?
Giulio: I have been working on the digital collages which is a mix of drawing, old paintings,
photography and random fantasy elements. It gives me the possibility to express myself
freely and once my digital works is done, I paint them on canvas to create the final
piece.
Q. What does your work aim to say?
Giulio: “ @kant_onata “ is an artistic project that explores the relationship
between accelerating technological progress creating the basis for material
advancements and the struggle of humanity to find its personal and
cultural identity in this new fast-paced and changing world.
Q. What is that one line of quote that you abide by in your life or
you would like others to follow?
Giulio: "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."
-John Lennon.
I feel being curious and also taking a flexible approach toward what
happens to us is the best strategy to tackle life. Random little events can
have quite the effect and it is important to recognize small clues as to
when they can start a transformation process in our lives.
Q. Please tell us a bit about an artwork of yours that you are
immensely proud of?
Giulio: The covid series are the works that introduced so many people
to. I received a lot of unexpected attention and my followers kept
texting me that they could relate their very own experience throughout
my work. That was something that happens quite rarely and I
received it quite well.
