Justin Aversano (born 23 September 1992) is an American photographer and digital artist recognised for his work in both traditional photography and non-fungible token (NFT) art.
Biography
Aversano obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography from the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York City in 2014.[1] In 2015, he co-founded SaveArtSpace with Travis Rix, a non-profit organisation that installs community art in public advertising spaces such as billboards, phone booths, and bus terminals.[2]
Artistic work
Twin Flames, initiated in 2017, is a photographic series capturing sets of twins. The project began as traditional photography and was later adapted into digital format.[1] In 2021, Aversano released 100 works from the series as NFTs.[3] Twin Flames #83, Bahareh & Farzaneh was the first photographic NFT offered at a Christie's auction.[4]
Aversano has also produced other photographic series, including Cognition and Smoke and Mirrors, which investigate themes of identity, spirituality, and human connection through portraiture and mixed media techniques.[5]
