Arianna
Malleo

I'm Arianna Malleo, a 20 y.o. italian artist specialized in drawing and painting. After the highschool years (Artistic Highschool in Rome) and after an year at the Accademy of Fine Art of Venice, nowadays I'm back in Rome as a student at the Accademy of Fine Art.

Since I was a child, creative pictorial practices have been part of my everyday life.

For fun at first, as a creative play gradually becoming a method of self-knowledge.

My works change with me, resenting the events of my journey; but they are separate entities from me, with their own independence. You can try to manage them, but it will not be completely effective.

I learned over time to relate to the tools as stand-alone elements, which need their response time.  I like to listen what they have to say.
The colors are dragged on the canvas pushed in various directions, and become autonomous, free to continue their journey or to stand still in the position chosen at first.

My latest aim is to investigate that place between the figurative and the abstract where the suggestion lives;

that no man’s land in which everything lives.
