Guarino Carla

Carla Guarino (Sant'Antimo, Naples, 1974) has a solid artistic background, having trained at the Liceo Artistico in Aversa and the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. She works with collage, décollage, acrylic paint, and mixed media. She experiments with techniques that combine destruction and reconstruction, achieving a dynamic balance between gesture, material, and control. In her works, she explores memory, time, and the body as fragments of identity, conveying the tensions and anxieties of our time with intense sensitivity.

After graduating from the Liceo Artistico Statale in Aversa, she earned her degree in Sculpture with top honors from the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. She currently teaches Art and Image, a profession she pursues alongside her continuous artistic practice.
