STEFANO

Stefano Contiero (b. 1991, Bassano del Grappa, Italy) is an Italian-Dominican self-taught artist working at the intersection of generative systems and emotional introspection. His practice explores identity, memory, and transformation through a recursive dialogue between the subconscious and technology. Known for his use of vibrant colors and layered compositions, Contiero’s work has been featured at major auction houses including Christie’s and Sotheby’s, and exhibited internationally in cultural hubs across the US, Europe, Asia, and Central America.

Stefano is the founder and Creative Director for Studio Contiero, a creative studio exploring how generative art can reshape the way we create and experience the world.
