Deborah Graziano was born in 1988 in Castrovillari (CS), Southern Italy, where she currently resides and works. In 2012, she graduated in Mechanical Engineering but soon decided to dedicate herself exclusively to artistic research, employing a symbolic language that primarily involves sculpture and installation to embrace a multidisciplinary approach.
With her artistic research Deborah Graziano traces, strips and stratifies signals made of obsessions, memories and suggestions, all traces sedimented in that deep layer that is our innermost nature.
She uses and combines casts of body parts with any kind of material and object-trouvé, using a symbolic language that is typical of poetry but which takes concrete form in sculpture, installation and drawing. Always fascinated by what is imperfect, indefinite and ambiguous, she embraces with the plurality of meanings, the wonder of the symbol, attempting to sublimate its apparent contradictions, showing the power of fragility.
She has exhibited in solo and group shows in various venues, including: "Per difetto" (2022), curated by Massimiliano Scuderi, at Castello Aragonese, Castrovillari (CS); "Amor Vacui" (2020), curated by Roberto Sottile, at Museo del Presente, Rende (CS); "Sanatorium" (2021), curated by Sara Maietta, at the former Accademia dell'Artiglieria militare, Turin; "Imprinting" (2019), Palazzo Castellano, Borgo di Civita (CS); and "Multiversity," curated by Francesca Canfora, at the former Caserma Militare La Marmora (Museo Diffuso), Turin. In the same year, she was awarded at the Paratissima art fair for emerging young artists in Turin.
In 2023, she is participating in an artist residency at Herhúsið in Siglufjörður, Iceland.
