Ronald Pizzoferrato is a Venezuelan artist and photographer born and raised in Caracas and currently living in Switzerland. In 2020, he graduated successfully with a Master’s in Art and Design from the Zürich University of the Arts, and was honoured with the Best Master’s Project Award 2020. His visual art revolves around topics such as violence, marginalization, poverty, migration and decolonization. He works as a freelance photographer for NGOs and other institutions as well as on self-initiated projects in Latin America. His approach is to visualize marginalized realities and educate the public about issues they are unfamiliar with. Given that photography contributed to the exoticization of humans during imperialism/colonialism, it is crucial for him to provide authentic representations of non-Western realities.
