Mohsen Baghernejad Moghanjooghi (Teheran 1988).

 

He lives and works in Turin, where he attended the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts, where he graduated in 2020. He moved to Italy in 2011 after working for five years as an assistant in an architecture firm in his hometown. This experience, combined with his work as a building restorer at Studio Rava, introduced him to the use of building materials such as cement mortars, bricks, and stone, and to a deeper understanding of their use in ancient civilizations, such as lime-based mortars. He also worked as a textile designer for a studio in Como until 2019. In 2017, together with nine other artists, he founded the independent collective Bastione: a space for exchange and research that promotes emerging contemporary artistic practices. Since 2025, he has transformed the D'io Bio project, born during a residency at Una Boccata d'Arte in Calabria, into a farm dedicated to researching and cultivating mushrooms. He has participated in solo and group exhibitions, as well as artistic residencies in Italy. Recent activities include: Breathe and Change, Voga Art Project (Bari, 2024); D’io Bio (A Breath of Art), Santa Severina (Crotone, 2023); Summer Love, Welcome Home, ME Vannucci Contemporary Art (Pistoia, 2023); PerPIRUZ, Bastione Association (Turin, 2022).
