Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Fine Arts

The art of breaking down borders

The Master in Fine Arts is the natural continuation of the Bachelor of Arts in Painting and Visual Arts and Sculpture and Installations. Nevertheless, it may also be attended by students who come from other educational backgrounds and who wish to complete their studies by studying contemporary art.

The Master of Arts is divided into four curricula: Painting, Painting with Specialisation in Performance Art, Sculpture and Printmaking, which share the same structure and vocation. These courses are in English and are the best solution to perfect, enrich and enhance the preparation of artists, creative professionals and cultural operators. During each academic year, six one-week masterclasses involve students in projects under the guidance of internationally renowned artists and professionals.

In a strongly stimulating and practical environment, students have the opportunity to study in depth all the practical and theoretical aspects related to each curriculum and to contemporary art, such as installations, performances, video art, public art, art criticism and the art market.

Nowadays, artists are multidisciplinary professionals increasingly in demand by companies and creative entities that value their ability to find innovative and surprising visual and design solutions. The artist works closely with companies and institutions for the success of projects and events.

The 21st-century artist is one who transforms the perception of reality by creating new aesthetics and multiple worlds. For this reason, studying Painting, Painting with specialization in Performance Art, Sculpture and Printmaking through this Master of Arts is an investment in the future of our culture.
