Michele Farina (1995, Villafranca) is a multidisciplinary artist and designer whose work lies at the intersection of art, nature, and technology. He is currently pursuing a degree in Fine Arts with a specialization in painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Verona and has graduated cum laude in Transportation Design from IAAD in Turin.

Michele's works are distinguished by a deep engagement with both traditional and digital media, combining generative design, parametric modeling, and artistic expression. His practice is characterized by an interest in the organic patterns found in nature and the potential of technology, themes he frequently explores through 3D printing, video installations, and interactive art.

He has exhibited his work in several renowned venues, including solo shows such as Contemplazioni at CRAD in Castelnuovo Rangone, and collective exhibitions at MUSE in Trento and the University of Trento. Michele has also received recognition in various art competitions, including being a finalist in the Mellone Art Prize and winning the “La Bella Verona” competition for his sculptural work, which is now on display at Palazzo Maffei.

In addition to his individual practice, Michele is the co-founder of the artist collectives WAN and MACADAME, with which he organizes exhibitions and residencies promoting collaboration between artists, musicians, and technologists.
