Barbara Crimella
Sculptor, painter, performer, art curator and costume designer, born in Milan 1973, where I currently work and live.
My works focus on Connections ourselves within nature.
My latest research is “The folds of the soul as a landscape”.
I explore the sense of place analysing the idea of the soul as a place of internal and external tension of the self, how
this idea of the soul can be translated and integrated with the external environment. In particular, focusing on how
we can relate to each other thanks to the “profound silence” of nature, truly connecting us to its natural order.
