Domenico Pasqua was born in Italy in 1959 and has Italian and Belgian citizenship. He studied architecture at Rome’s ‘La Sapienza‘ University, where he obtained a degree cum laude in 1986 with a thesis on Alvar Aalto’s private housing and his lesser known works. Whilst carrying out research at Alvar Aalto’s study in Helsinki he was also able to follow the construction of Aalto’s posthumous works at Rovaniemi which were being carried out by his widow, Ellissa Alto and her team. After graduation he opened his own practice working on projects including private housing, commercial and industrial buildings. He is registered with the Rome Chamber of Architects (registration nr 8095) as architect, urbanist, landscape architect and restorer of historical buildings.

PAINTINGS
My interest in painting started at a young age, prior to studying architecture and over time the two passions became fused. The works published on this site represent just a few of my works and illustrate the changes in my creative inspiration over time. Commissions are accepted, albeit whilst respecting my creative expression.

PHOTOGRAPHY
My passion for photography, often linked to architectural works, developed its own path and has culminated in various photo projects, with an archive of over 20 years’ standing. The passion started with manual printing in black and white, a skill acquired in the course of an internship in New York at the studio which handles the new prints for International exhibitions made from Robert Mapplethorpe’s negatives. It has evolved into development and digital printing, based on the concept of showing the greatest respect possible to the original shot.
Only a selection of the completed projects are included on this site. Please contact me for a larger selection and in order to order high-resolution files for private use in your interior design projects; or directly for the delivery of prints on any type of support or size (depending on the used support); or commission a new project according to your interests but only for the use as part of an interior design.
