Maria Ciccone

Maria Ciccone is and Italian artist based in Ovada, Piedmont. As an advertising consultant, she has lived and worked in several European countries and developed her own visual language through an independent path, shaped by the creative contexts she has encountered. Her practice, which develops mainly through acrylic and watercolor, explores female identity as a process of continuous transformation.
Her art arises from a fracture of identity experienced firsthand, as a woman, in the midst of her life journey.
For this reason, her works capture a moment of suspension: the instant in which a female figure breaks out of the form that, until that moment, had contained her, and remains suspended; the former figure has broken apart, while the new one has not yet fully emerged.
