Bio & contact

I’m Stefano Stoppa (2001, Venice), I’m a multimedia artist and graphic designer working between Brussels and Venice. In my practice, through a wide set of references from art history and internet culture, I work with banality and simplification, unfolding them into a playful and unpredictable imaginary. When it comes to my own practice, I would describe it with keywords such as post-internet, cynicism, individualism, simplicity, playfulness, baroque excess, minimalism. Although these labels are an incomplete and partial tool for understanding anything, I use them to open a space for contradictions and paradoxes. That’s where my research moves—between the authentic and the playful, the serious and the mischievous— and where new perspectives can appear.

I studied Visual Arts at IUAV University, Venice. I'm currently pursuing a Master in Fine Arts at LUCA School of Arts in Brussels. In 2025 I won the San Fedele Prize in Milan. In the same year I had a duo show, with Jacopo Zambello at the museum Palazzo Te, Mantova IT, In 2023–24, I was an atelier artist at the Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in Venice.
Presently, together with Nicolò Brunetta, Erica Toffanin and Matteo Rattini, I'm part of Ipercubo, a publishing collective contributing to the curation and production of both editorial and artistic projects.
