Sofia Cianciulli

I'm a multi-disciplinary artist with a Master degree in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins.

Using my body as a subject, I combine painting, digital media, sculpture and performance art, to consider the female representation in the post-feminist media age. The work reflects upon the entangled and co-dependent nature of millennials and the internet, and responds with absolute transparency to modern narrative conventions that are inextricable part of my reality.

I come from a fashion design background, and I grew up surrounded by many controversies about who I should be and how I should act - my family's traditional values made me question my atypical personality, and the continuous exposure to elusive media content made me frustrated with my look.

I am motivated by the desire to unpack the vulnerability of white female privilege and the value of women’ bodies in modern society. My artistic practice is a self-reflexive project, to negotiate a space for the production of identity. With my work I’d like to redefine different possibilities of self-expression, and cope with the inconsistencies of my upbringing.
