About the Artist
Thank you for visiting my website. I’m Freddy Ciminelli, a visual artist who explores the dynamic interplay between visual imagery and sound. My goal is to create multimedia visual art that harmoniously blends visual elements with music, where rhythm, form, emotion, and feeling converge.
My artistic journey began with a high school photography class photo-gram assignment that ignited my passion for art. (See Untitled Photo-gram, 1976.) Subsequently, I pursued an art major in high school and later earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the State University of New York at Oswego.

Since earning my B.F.A. degree, my creative horizons have expanded to include new media, electronic music, and digital tools. I blend these elements with traditional materials to create bold, abstract pieces that convey music’s energy and emotion visually. As an expressionist, rhythm, texture, and improvisation are crucial to my process. Each piece is a visual echo of sound, shaped by an intuitive workflow where art and music continuously inspire and influence each other.
“I’m a visual artist who explores the interplay between image and sound.”
Music has been a constant companion in my artistic journey. In 2010, I began composing and playing electronic music, which complements my visual art. Each beat and synth line influences the movement and emotional impact of my works. Listen to my music. One early piece, “Shade,” is at its best when played loud —click the player and raise the volume.
I currently reside in Atlanta and work as a multimedia artist at Art Studio Intermix, a studio I founded in 1984. This platform enables me to explore new ideas and push the boundaries of my creativity. As you visit my website, I encourage you to explore my artwork and other projects.
Best regards,
Freddy
