I am Marta Scavone aka MAR, an emerging artist born in Turin in 1998.
Since childhood I have always had a creative personality with a very marked sensitivity and from the age of 13 I undertake courses of study and extra activities that allow me today to have access to a creative career.
I graduated from art school with a Fashion Design diploma in 2017 and later, following the footsteps of my grandfather photographer, I enrolled at the IED in Turin where I graduated with honors in 2020 in Visual Arts and Photography.
For many years I have been cultivating artistic interests and actively practicing activities such as dance and theater, which turn out to be very stimulating for my work and projects, while for a year and a half I also work as a freelance photographer and art director.
Since childhood I’ve always been passionate about literature and art, and along with theatre and the studies of fashion and visual arts, l conceived an idea of photographic image that goes beyond the traditional idea of photography.
I don’t look for the “perfect moment” and I don’t aim to reproduce what surrounds me. I focus on creating scenarios that can’t be seen anywhere.
I make colorful and dreamlike images which cross several disciplines, a photo, an illustration or a painting; these are strongly contaminated by my dreams.
Most of my photos are taken in my studio, for me an empty space represents what could be the blank canvas for a painter: an infinity of possibilities.
There I’m able to build any set and to give life to the multiple "transformations" that involve my body in self-portraits.
Multidisciplinary is a key word in my projects, as my approach combines several means of artistic expression: photography, fashion, installation art and theatrical performance. The union and experimentation of these languages allows me to investigate current or shared themes in a conceptual, ironic and unique way.
