Mattia Donati is a visual artist and photographer whose work explores the intimate, often silent dialogue between collectors and timepieces—where precision becomes memory, and mechanics evoke emotion.
His images go beyond documentation; through abstraction, he transforms watches into poetic expressions of movement, depth, and connection. Enlarged and reimagined, each work becomes a meditation on the passage of time and the intricate beauty of horology.
With a background in commercial photography, Mattia spent several years working in the luxury fashion and product industries, where he developed a meticulous eye and strong technical foundation.
Over time, he felt compelled to move beyond the boundaries of commercial work, seeking to engage more deeply with personal research and visual experimentation. This shift led him to develop original projects that bridge craftsmanship and concept, firmly establishing his voice within the contemporary art scene.
