“I have done an irrevocable mark, I have established a relation”
(J. L. Borges)

Emilio Cavallini, world known fashion designer, has always cultivated his passion for art, while pursuing his fashion career. In other words for many years, his curiosity and interest in  ne arts have nourished his creative energy.
From the seventies, Emilio Cavallini has tirelessly built a close relationship between art and fashion. By merging these two worlds he has been able to create innovative and original pieces of art.
Only a few years ago, in 2010, Emilio decides to dedicate himself solely to his art. In February 2011, at the Triennale Expo in Milan, Emilio shows his work to the public for the first time.
After his  rst exhibit, it becomes clear that Emilio Cavallini’s artistic path follows important art movements of the second half of the 1900’s, from the Optic Kinetic to Analityc Painting to the Generative Art. At the same time Emilio Cavallini’s art is original.

Like the Optic Kinetic artists, Emilio, uses neutral geometric shapes (squares, circles, rectangles, dots, lines, …). These shapes are organized through combinatorial principles, permutations, growth algorithms, to achieve an active image in visual connection with the viewer.
