Excerpt from "The breeze of an eternal snap" by the AFAN's album "EmPathmos"

"Nowadays Empathy has become the most rare and endangered human ability. Just like John the Evangelist got the revelation he wrote down in the book of Apocalypse while exiled on the Patmos island, so I got the inspiration to compose an album about the "apocalyptic" skill of mutual feeling in the era of exile in the evergrowing island of online solitude. The supreme revelation will come when humans will feel each other again without talking, judging or reasoning. The supreme revelation will come when humans will FEEL again. Then the book of the Empath will start with the breeze of an eternal snap."

The Breeze Of An Eternal Snap - Excerpt

Alessandro Fantini was born in Sangro Valley, Italy. His creative inclination arose during his early childhood when he began drawing comics and writing tales influenced by gothic authors like Edgar Allan Poe and Sheridan le Fanu. Disliking art school teachings, he learned oil painting techniques by himself and started painting his first canvases in 1993. During the nineties he developed his own visionary style blending the surrealist attitude with hyperrealism and Flemish painting methods. In 2002 he graduated with first class honours in modern literature with a thesis about the relationship between Italian culture and the PreRaphaelism.

Since 1998 he wrote, directed and produced movies and music videos digitally, composing also their soundtracks and writing lyrics for songs performed by himself. His short movies "Tiranti Transit" and "The road to Shakti" were broadcasted in 2006 and 2007 on European Sky Channels. He wrote and illustrated the book "The Night's Veil"(2006) and the dark-fantasy novel "Endometria"(2007) both published by Liberodiscrivere and presented at the International Turin book fair. His self-portrait was published in 2004 inside the Jean Michel Jarre's "Aero" album booklet. His artworks have been shown in several group exhibitions and solo exhibitions in Pescara, Turin,at  the London Brick Lane Gallery, Rome Dorothy Circus Gallery and Los Angeles Flower Pepper Gallery.

In 2008 he released his first art book entitled "The Sinovial Gaze" covering more than a decade of painting activity.
In 2009 he directed and animated the music video of the international jazz musician Lorenzo Tucci's hit "The Sky".
In 2010 he directed the feature movie "EDOnism" filmed in Tokyo and produced by Lorenzo Fantini.
In 2012 he completed the experimental web series "Iconosphere".
In 2014 he directed and produced the mystery movie "New York, a venture" filmed in Manhattan.
