Ilary Tiralongo

Ilary Tiralongo is a Sicilian painter and poet working within the Italian contemporary art scene, with a gaze deeply rooted in her homeland and in the collective memory of women. She recently took part in the group exhibitions Inartis4 (Milan, 2026) and “Women in Art” (Turin, 2026). As a writer, she is the author of the poetry collection “Malerba a gocce” (2013), “Ombre di sabbia” (2025), and collaborative volumes.

Her painting moves between neo-expressionism and gestural mark-making, with a particular focus on female bodies, labour and resistance. Sicily — its family stories, landscapes and history — is the gravitational centre of each work.
