ALESSANDRO RISULEO
Presentation
With over three decades of experience in the world of art and visual communication, Alessandro Risuleo has established himself as one of the most influential and respected Art Directors on the international scene. His career began in 1994 as a graphic designer and creative professional for the calendars of the Italian Air Force, and quickly evolved thanks to his unique vision and his ability to transform ideas into powerful, memorable images.
Over the years, Alessandro has continued to achieve major successes, including winning the competition for the graphic design of the ARPA Lazio brand in 2004 and creating the portal for the Italian Ministry of Economic Development in 2008—an achievement that earned him the Euromediterranean Award for Best Public Administration Portal.
Alongside his career as an Art Director, Alessandro has also developed a successful path as a photographer. In 2014, he won the prestigious 1X Photo Award in the Fine Art Nude category. His photographic work has received international recognition, culminating in an exhibition at the Queens Museum in New York in 2017. During this exhibition, one of his works was purchased by U.S. Congresswoman Claudia Tenney and was subsequently placed in the White House.
In addition, over the past year, Alessandro has expanded his technological horizons by developing mixed reality products and leveraging the advanced capabilities of artificial intelligence.
Professional Experience
In 2000, his expertise in 3D graphics led him to be entrusted with training the video graphics teams for all RAI news broadcasts. This was followed by the creation of the first video portal dedicated to cinema for RAI 1 in 2001, and the role of Art Director for the portal of the Italian Ministry of the Interior in 2002.
The year 2003 marked a major turning point in his career when he was selected by the prestigious airline Etihad Airways to rebrand the company. The logo he designed—still in use today—stands as a testament to his exceptional talent. His collaboration with Etihad went beyond the logo: he also designed the first aircraft livery for the group’s fleet, further strengthening his reputation in the industry.
In 2006, he released the iOS video game UFHO, which was recognized by Apple for its innovation and design.
From 2010 to 2016, Alessandro led the digital publishing project Enhanced Press, through which he supported major Italian publishing houses in developing interactive applications optimized for iOS platforms, both for entertainment and educational purposes. Notable collaborations include Pearson, Piemme, RCS Media Group, Giunti Educational, Giunti Multimedia, and Battello a Vapore.
In 2014, he was selected as a lecturer for the Visual Arts course at IED Rome, where he continues to share his extensive experience and knowledge with the next generation of artists and designers.
The year 2021 marked new challenges and achievements for Alessandro: he was awarded the Bronze Medal at the Trierenberg Super Circuit and represented Italy at the World Photographic Cup, further solidifying his position as one of the most influential and respected photographers on the international stage.
