CARLA MARINI

Ephemeral VII.jpg

My research has always been around identity. My roots are the starting point for everything…from the colors to my interest in multiculturalism and feminism.

Always thinking in the concept of otherness, because I want to bring forward elements of it that historically have not been appreciated.

My work the last years has been a journey between abstract and figurative portraits of women, is a kind of metaphor for the disappearance of women in the patriarchy...in every possible way.

From the symbolic to the literal, exploring the concept of disappearance with abstract technique, and playing with paper, looking for different ways of figurative forms.

Always with a strong colorful palette and the mark of gestural movements…
