F. Martellini, 2007.

My professional expertise lies in setting up and managing complex projects, partnerships, research studies and funding across Europe in a wide variety of sectors. This experience has involved managing international teams virtual and face-to-face, organising and delivering high profile projects and working with people from all walks of life, backgrounds and professional levels.

My research interest lies in how visual arts can contribute to the study of human consciousness, more specifically, how art practices suggest different ways to respond to nature. Artists mediate their experience of the world through their different art practices. If man responds in different ways to the world, then, there are different ways of filtering and computing the perceived information. Therefore, do different art practices suggest quite different types or states of consciousness? I explore the relationship between art and consciousness in an intercultural perspective looking at

• history of art
• metaphysics
• cognitive sciences
• modern physics.

I am also a Member of the Leonardo Reviews Panel and a Director on the board of Ballet Cymru, a very innovative and forward looking Welsh ballet company. In parallel to pursuing my research project and to inform it, I continue to managing projects/partnerships, which involve artists, designers and their agents on an international scale.
