In the artistic field, he is known only by his 3 first names: Andreas Martin Fedrigo.
He did not want to use any of his three noble surnames: D'Este Vignoli Babich to not receive favoritism and to be able to be noticed only and exclusively for his artistic abilities. Andreas Martin Fedrigo descends from the ancient noble family of Vignoli who had settled in the city of Bologna since 1400; from the ancient noble Istrian family of Babich belonging to the Council of Trieste since 1400 and from the ancient and noble family of the Dukes D'Este, the same family that gave rise to the Dukes of Bavaria; Dukes of Saxony and the house of Hannover, known today as Windsor.
The Queen Mother Elizabeth donated a bouquet of flowers every year to the sarcophagus of her ancestor Azzo II D'Este buried with his wife Cunegonda in the small square in Badia Polesine, Italy. AS, as he signs himself in his photographs, grew up in a family of artists: his mother is a writer and director, his father is an architect, his great-grandfather was a scientist, inventor, and photographer. In Venice, in what was the home of his great-uncle Attilio D’Este, a great collector of pre-cinema and cinema, the museum "Fabbrica del Vedere" was born, strongly desired by another collector, Dr. Carlo Montanaro, to preserve the beautiful collection of Attilio D’Este.
Perhaps this is why Andreas Martin Fedrigo has carried with him, since he was a child, a passion for cinema, photography, inventions and architecture and at just 3 years old he began to take his first artistic shots and self-portraits, demonstrating inventiveness, attention to detail and a strong artistic creativity.
His shots range from the naturalistic world: like the photograph "SPIDERWEB" which was very successful at the Swiss Art Expo in Zurich.
To landscapes, to portraits such as "SPLASH SUN AND LIFE" exhibited at the Giotto Prize Exhibition in the Feste Arhimedee, which received great appreciation from art critic Dr. Melinda Miceli.
To get to the shots that AMF defines as philosophical and that make the viewer reflect on the depth of life as "INTERMINATI SPAZI DI LÀ DI QUELLA (endless spaces beyond that)” dedicated to the poem by Giacomo Leopardi "L'infinito".
Photography chosen for the November exhibition at a famous art gallery in Rome.
Andreas Martin Fedrigo is socially engaged by being the President of the Youth section of the desteproduction.com Association that deals with art, theater, music, fashion, bioconstruction, and creates international relations with the members of the ancient and historic noble houses of the world.
In 2024 he was appointed, in a public ceremony, Ambassador for Italy of the Viennese Association “Flame of Peace”, by Her Royal and Imperial Highness Herta Margarete Habsburg-Lorraine
For this commitment the artist takes the shots that he himself defines as "of social reflection" as 2020 FREEDOM DENIED and that raise doubts about the veracity of the information that the media provides us.
We are sure that if these are the beginnings of the first year of exhibitions, Andreas Martin Fedrigo will be a name that we will hear often in the art field.
A broken phone: black spots, similar to ink, appear on Martin Luther King's eyes.The artist captures the moment with this shot, and it is as if a message came to the observer from the past, directly from Luther King: "Remember that I had a dream"... I dreamed that every man in the world would be recognized with equal dignity and equal rights, equal freedom. 2020: a date to remember!The year of lockdowns; the year of layoffs for those who did not want to be guinea pigs for experimental vaccines; the year in which social media implemented the new inquisition with the closure of channels, profiles, newspapers, blogs...Hence the title: "2020 FREEDOMS DENIED".
