Born in Rome in 1956, Maurizio Cofini began his photography career in 1979, specializing in theatrical photography and documentaries about ethnicity and geography. He has won numerous photography awards in Italy.
Cofini is a passionate and dedicated journalist: for many years he has continuously worked in the Far East and especially in Southeast Asia. After each trip, he returns with a wealth of photographs brimming with emotion and sentiment.
The exhibition "Distant Colors," featuring images of Vietnam, was held in Rome in 2009. In 2010, he organized another exhibition about Vietnam and Cambodia titled "Picture Pieces: Vietnam and Angkor." Since late 2009, he has collaborated with the Vietnamese magazine "Beautiful House Architecture," and some of his photographs published in the magazine will also be displayed in the exhibition.
In May 2010, the Italian publisher Anicia published his photo book titled "Picture Pieces: Vietnam and Angkor". He currently collaborates with the photography agency Le Clic.
The exhibition will present to the public a number of photographs with swirling colors, the ambiguity of light and shadow, the interplay of currents, expressing the artist's emotions and love for both countries. Cofini, with his unique and passionate style, conveys the message that despite their geographical distance, Italy and Vietnam share many cultural similarities and beautiful landscapes.
