As digital artists the artworks he creates alternate between video art and conceptual photography with which he creates digital manipulation. His research deals with the aspects of gravity, of the time. It was born in surreal to get in touch with the archetypes of the human being. Always fascinated by the creative process and the infinite number of connections that constitute it, to which he dedicates part of his artworks.
Photography was born as a tool to document reality but today through digital manipulation it is possible to create new scenarios, even surreal ones, to express different mental landscapes belonging to the sphere of fantasy.

There are factors such as time and gravity that cannot be explained through a simple analog photography, so Mattia Trabalza goes beyond the appearance of things and searches for those symbols which become the pieces of a new and more complete vision.
The artist narrates his experience in artistic research through dreamlike and allegorical images, illustrates the phases of an intrinsic process of infinite prisms of emotions and sensations.
