Mater, La Peinture #2 Painting

I am a visual artist. I currently live and work between Palermo (Italy) and San Sebastian (Spain). In my research I deepen and elaborate ecological and social issues. Most of my work involves audience involvement. My practice includes a reflection on the tangible and intangible heritage of the territories in which I operate. I have undertaken many art projects focused on intercultural dialogue and awareness of the right to international mobility, shown by various museums and international foundations. The experiences of the community projects are deepened through drawing and painting, reaching a large production of artworks with a more intimate character in which often memories and traces of participatory paths emerge. Among the most recent projects and exhibition we mention: -Lur Sarek-Reti di terra, Chiesa di Santa Eulalia, Instituto Cervantes, Palermo, BAM Biennal. - PaNingenesi, 2021, Land art performance curated by Lori Adragna, Parco Archeologico di Selinunte in collaboration with Riso-Museo Regionale d'Arte contemporanea di Palermo, Monira Foundation, Jersey City (USA) - PAN-GEA, 2020, augmented reality artwork for Arkad, Les Parallèles du Sud, Manifesta 13 Biennial, Marseilles (France). -I'm Blooming, performance and installation for the Group show ONE VOICE | CHANGE IS IN UNITY.
