Matteo Abbondanza is an Italian photographer who lives in Milan, known for clean, linear and visionary production. His works are characterized by the aesthetic and the immediacy of the message: his journey led him to an increasingly essential photography in which the shape itself becomes the content of the images.
His current style is the result of a long photographic path, begun in 2006, which has evolved up to here: today his photos are a mix of reality and imagination expressed in a linear, minimal and geometric way.
Through photography, the author transforms reality into metaphysical environments, dreamlike representations, ironic worlds, always leveraging his own point of view, key element of his production, which stands out for its strong visual impact, compositional order and for the extreme precision of lines and planes.
His references are Ellsworth Kelly, Piet Mondrian, Vasilij Vasil'evič Kandinsky, Franco Fontana.
During the last years Abbondanza exhibited his photos in Rome, Venice, Florence, New York, Budapest, Milan, Bologna, Assisi, Turin, Triest, Mantua, Varese and Lodi, both in solo and collective exhibitions.
Several international and Italian media wrote about his photography, such as L'oeil de la photographie, Exibart, The pure inner, Aperture Magazine, Il Giornale d'Italia, Bagzine, Woofer Magazine, Il Giornale Off, Mag72, Wikiradio, La strada d'Italia and various daily Italian newspapers.
In 2021 he collaborated with Einaudi Editore, one of the most important Italian publishers. He published a photobook that collects his most representative photos taken up to 2023: la forma è il contenuto.
He organizes workshops and trips focused on his photographic style.
