Read MoreGilda Convertino is an Italian-born visual artist and licensed landscape architect, currently based in Berlin. Her artist practice encompasses landscape architecture, urbanism and garden design with a focus in exploring the relationship between anthropic space and the natural environment. Her work in landscape representation using black ink patterns and gold leaf decorations is connected to the idea of observing, researching and translating thematic elements of the landscape and cityscape into a specific, visually sensitive image.
Her landscape drawing activity offers interpretations of places with a style centered on the concepts of material, perspective, and geometry. She explores space through its individual elements and their materiality, expressed with various patterns. Distinct and distinctive elements are portrayed through patterns, representing a habitat where everything is balanced. Her aim is to create emotional and meaningful work capable of engaging the observer. Drawing on memories or site visits, she enjoys creating images of specific places in cities and territories to narrate their changes, evolution, fragilities and strengths. Each artwork represents a landscape story able to narrate the identity of a place and broaden the observer’s understanding.
