SAUL ZANOLARI
Swiss contemporary artist exploring identity through radical reduction.
EGO SYSTEM — A biological-digital ecosystem of identity.
XXY PORTRAITS (2024–2025)
620 portraits. Chromosomes replace eyes. Names define the subject.
Historical figures, cultural icons, contemporary faces—reduced to genetic essence.
EGO MASKS (2024–present)
Portraits without names. Only numbers: EGO I, EGO II, EGO III...
Chromosomes remain. Identity becomes code.
MASK (2024–present)
Physical masks. EGO becomes wearable, three-dimensional.
All part of Generation Zero (GEN0) —the foundational genome of the system.Each original piece is drawn digitally, then redrawn by hand as a unique physical work.
