Cosmos Painting

Born in 1980 in Potenza – Italy - Fabiana Belmonte, painter and illustrator, has recently embraced the photography as her top favorite and artistic expression. Autodidact, she dedicates herself actively to photography since 2012, participating in competitions in Italy and abroad, and exposing from the beginning. Her artistic investigation is merely anthropocentric, where the bodies come in symbiotic union with what surrounds them joining in the dimension of the human unconscious, fleeting and sometimes elusive, in sharp contrast to the static nature of the physical body. She is digital artist, too, working with Photoshop, and creating what she call "Unusual Worlds", surreal illustration that bring in an upsidedown world where everything is possible. - January 2013: exhibit at the Pinacoteca Provinciale of Potenza, in the collective "Non è poi così lontano il tempo" - January 2013: she won the competition of 2Photo to expose to Fotografia Europea, 2013, Reggio Emilia. - February 2013: selected for publication by LAZAGNE magazine, through the contest I SEE YOU. - March 2013: personnel of Photography at La Piccola Theatre, Rionero, Potenza. - March 2013: Video projections of her photos during the show "Quelle che"… Dicono Ora No !
