Alessia
Zolfo

Born in Naples in 1984, she first attended the Faculty of Philosophy and later she graduated in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts. She experiments with multiple expressive techniques and has been working in the arts for almost twenty years. She obtained several awards like the 2006 Pandosia Prize, the 2009 Morgese Prize, the 2011 “Il Segno” Prize and the 2012 Biennale Prize “Imprimatur”. Her artistic research aims to investigate the possibilities of expression of the figure while contaminated by the languages of the informal and the conceptual. Her subjects tell, amidst stories, mythologies, and indefinite identities, those philosophical themes of existence which fascinated her from high school studies.She exhibited her works in major international events, including the Rome Triennale in 2014 edition and 2023 edition, the Florence Biennale 2023 and the 54th Venice Biennale in 2011. In 2022 she is a finalist in the “Mestre Prize” and selected by the Amedeo Modigliani Foundation for the painting award.
