Elisabetta
Marchese

After studying at the Artistic High School and later at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, she exhibited in several group shows. Important exhibitions have taken place in recent years: Berlin, Munich, Milan and in February 2020, before the lockdown, a solo exhibition in Venice at the Visioni Altre gallery.

In the latest research she prefers mix media with insertions of collages of "old" papers. They are paintings and sketches that were and that recreate new stories, new dialogues with new situations. The most loved technique is always the drawing with the freshness of the sketch phase that always lives on even in larger works. After all, everything always comes from a line of gray graphite on a white sheet.

For this occasion she presents the ISOLE series.

ISLANDS.

What we have become.

Or, perhaps, what we have always been.

Where does my ISLAND start or end?

Where, if you, my love, are you part of my ISLAND more than I am part of it?

Apparent ISLANDS

That merge into infinite submerged worlds.

With deep roots made of rocks, patiently smoothed by the mother water.

After all, an ISLAND is an ISLAND only if you look at it from the sea.
