Edoardo Nardin

Born in Pordenone in 1983, he graduated with honours in Arts and Entertainment Organisation from the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy of the University of Florence, with a thesis on cultural funding.

Now a naturalised Tuscan, he is an artist who brings his performances and art to Italy and around the world.

Nardin’s nature is one of eclecticism, blurring the boundaries between different forms of artistic expression. He is an artistic tightrope walker, moving between the various techniques he employs.

He divides his artistic research between visual and performing arts: he is a juggler, acrobat, clown, and equilibrist. When he is not performing on stage, he draws and experiments with different techniques in painting, illustration, and artistic installation.
