Born in 1956 in Rome, Maurizio Cofini began his photography career in 1979, specializing in stage photography, ethnic and geographical reports. He has won numerous photography awards in Italy.
Cofini is a passionate and enthusiastic reporter: for many years he has been continuously working in the Far East and especially in Southeast Asia. After each trip, he returns with a rich photographic portfolio full of feelings and emotions.
The exhibition “Distant Colors” with images of Vietnam was held in Rome in 2009. In 2010, he held another exhibition about Vietnam and Cambodia called “Pictures of images. Vietnam and Angkor”. Since the end of 2009, he has collaborated with the Vietnamese magazine “Beautiful Architecture”, in which some of his photos published in the magazine will also be displayed in the exhibition.
In May 2010, the Italian publishing house Anicia published his photo book titled “Pictures of images. Vietnam and Angkor”. He is currently collaborating with Le Clic Photography Company.
The exhibition will introduce to the public a number of photographs with swirls of colors, the blur of light and shadow, the intersection of flows, expressing the artist's emotions and love for the two countries. Cofini, with his unique and passionate expression, brings us the message: despite being geographically distant, Italy and Vietnam have many similarities in culture as well as beauty.
