VISUALEYES ARTISTS Matteo Bertolio: Art & Photography for 11X Milano

11X | THE BIRTH 11X came into existence in Milan in 2018 as the creative brainchild of Matteo Bertolio and Raffaella Palmieri. Their journey began with a daring mission to manifest a unique vision of beauty—raw, natural, and deeply meaningful—an exquisite fusion of ancestral simplicity and avant-garde futurism. Embracing the profound belief in the power of circumstances and the absence of mere chance, they embarked on the creation of a lifestyle brand that could embody their visionary concept. Thus, 11X was born—a symbiotic harmony between "11," representing the Strength card of the major arcana, and "X," the Latin symbol for ten, symbolizing the perfection of a new beginning. This fusion manifested as an imaginative binary code, symbolizing the non-binary evolution of humanity. Born in Milan, Matteo completed his studies at NYU and returned to Italy to work in the world of professional photography since 1995. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with the world's most renowned brands such as Ferragamo, Versace, Ann Demeulemeester, as well as Mercedes-Benz, Fiat Lancia, and Oris. He can boast of having produced multiple covers for fashion magazines such as L'Officiel, Tank, Elle, and Vogue. He is the communicative soul and image of 11X, consistently interpreting a dreamlike world guided by nature with his erotic vision of the human being
