Giovanni Croce (alias Tauma) is a digital artist whose work captures the spirit of creative exploration. Born in Turin and raised in Rome, he grew up immersed in Italy’s rich artistic and cultural heritage. His path has taken him far beyond his homeland, with formative experiences in South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, and the UK, each leaving a lasting mark on his perspective and storytelling.
Now based in Florence, Tauma thrives in a city where centuries-old tradition meets modern innovation. His art reflects the dialogue between historical mastery and cutting-edge digital techniques, driven by a belief in the transformative power of technology in the creative process.
Constantly experimenting with new tools, styles, and ideas, Tauma’s work reimagines classical themes through a contemporary, often futuristic lens, creating pieces that bridge eras and invite viewers into a timeless yet forward-looking world.
