Stefano Scheda was born in Faenza in 1957 and graduated at Bologna's Academy of Fine Arts in 1980. He lives between Marradi and Bologna. He has been lecturer in decoration at Brera's Academy of Fine Art. He first exhibited in 1972.

Stefano Scheda works from photography through various manipulations (transformations in photocopy, the use of cling-film, photos of photos like layers of skin) to achieve particular effects which he calls "altered relations", the title of a series. The artist uses photography as a pictorial instrument, like a paintbrush, not to imitate the obsolete picturesqueness of time-worn experiences, but to cool down the "painter's model" which is the obsession by which the artist lets himself be transported. In short, neither photography nor painting can fully restore him to his artistic activity: Stefano Scheda looks for a synthesis as far from painting as it is from photography, yet capable of fusing both.
