Cristian Boiardi trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, where he received a degree in painting in 2000. From there, his path led him to deal with the world of graphics and the web until, in 2012, he began a path of research and study of the 3D world, in which he transferred the sensitivities and skills acquired during his artistic training.
Since around 2019, he chose to fully immerse himself in that world and has been working as a 3D artist ever since, particularly in the world of Cultural Heritage enhancement, archaeological heritage, and other areas related to the consumer industry and augmented reality.
In 2020, he embarked on an ambitious project to research and reconstruct Piranesi’s most famous views of Rome: #Piranesi Reborn.
The project has attracted great interest from different sectors: community of 3d artists, prestigious national studios engaged in the enhancement of archaeological heritage and actors present in the contemporary and digital art market.
In 2021, he was selected by the Ministry of Culture to be part of a pool of 3D artists and creative companies to realize the innovative e-archaeological project.
For two years in a row (2021 – 2022), he took the podium of the Blender Awards in the category “Exterior Architecture” .
The Piranesi Reborn project was included as part of the prestigious exhibition “Rome, Piranesi, Basilico” held in Parma from April 1 to May 21, 2023, in which original works by Piranesi, Roman views photographed by the great photographer Basilico and 3D reconstructions were placed side by side.
The view “The Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella” (Piranesi Reborn project) was also selected to participate in the first international virtual exhibition on the island of Venice: “Viral Human. Public Art and the Metaverse.”
