Fabian Marcaccio is one of the pioneers of digital painting. He started his practice in the 1990s with the Altered Genetics of Painting, emphasizing the alteration of pictorial content in relation to bio-genetics. He moved to an urban scale with a new type of muralism, the Environmental paintings. These works unify aspects film, urbanism, architecture, and painting. Currently he is involved in a pictorial re-engineering of painting with the use of 3D printing, which he defines as hyper-structural painting or techno-brutalism.
