Bio
Vins Blake is a Director and Fine Art Photographer strongly driven by the fascinating interplay between science and art.
He holds a Master’s degree in Biotechnology, procured whilst teaching as an Assistant Professor at N.A.B.A., a prestigious Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. Over several years he taught Directing, Editing and, thanks to his background, Neural Networks applied to Generative Art.
Bridging the gap between Blake’s controlled analytical mindset and his vigorous necessity of creative expression, is an attitude that allows him to observe reality from an unconventional standpoint. He then investigates it in its most curious aspects, both physically and conceptually, in order to find pleasing and novel paradigms.
Vins lives in London UK and he is available for work worldwide.
