Ilaria Berenice

I am an Italian contemporary artist and painter. My artistic journey began with studies in anthropology and music, later evolving into a passion for painting during my time in Brazil, where I experimented with recycled materials and self-taught techniques. Over the years, I have developed a distinctive style that merges abstraction and figuration, with a strong focus on expressive portraits and emotional depth.

My work has been exhibited in galleries, museums, and prestigious venues in Italy and abroad. I am also the co-founder of Arte and Cuisine, a cultural association through which I organize art exhibitions and events, collaborating with institutions such as the Forte di Gavi Museum. My artistic approach is instinctive and spontaneous, guided by the exploration of the human soul through texture, movement, and contrast.

I work primarily with mixed media, ink, and oil on canvas, creating unique pieces that evoke emotion and introspection.
