Waterwind town Artwork

Olivia Gozzano is the interpreter and inventor of a genre that originates from photography and grows in pure living matter, expressing itself with brushstrokes, in a mixture of transfers and pictorial techniques, from imagination to canvas, but also to other media, wherever there is matter that intersects with the spirit. She is a photographer and visual artist who investigates the most surprising revelations of life, composing unconventional impressions of an original contemplation of reality in each canvas. Olivia Gozzano has been working as a professional photographer. A few years ago, after embarking on a path with street art, she started to have a more physical and material contact with the artistic process. His works are mixed media, a combination of photographs, transfer of images on glue or hot wax, oil and acrylic paints, brushes, palette knives, paints on various media. Roman by birth and Milanese by adoption, but a citizen of the world (her mother is German and her maternal grandparents are Russian), art has been in Olivia's blood for several generations. She is the great-granddaughter of Guido Gozzano, the 'crepuscular' poet, and grew up in a family with her mother, also a photographer, and her father, an inventor/videomaker. After art school she began working as an assistant photographer for various studios, after which she set up on her own and worked as a professional photographer in Tuscany. After art school, she started working as a photographer's assistant for various studios, before setting up on her own and working as a professional photographer in Tuscany. Back in Milan, she explored other areas of photography: editorial services, portraits, fashion and landscapes. Since 2012, she has been collaborating with "atomo", a historic Milanese street artist, for the creation of stencils for graffiti and paintings and in the organisation of events related to street art. Since 2018, in addition to photography and interior decoration, she has dedicated herself to the creation of more material artistic works, using glues, waxes and paints to transfer her images onto canvas, wood and other supports. The habitat of the subjects investigated by the artist is the cosmic, lyrical and broad ecumene of time and space, in a dizzying journey between the surreal and the existential. Past, present and space merge to create dense, sometimes dreamlike and unexpected images, traces of stories lived or yet to be lived.
