Antonella Catini was born in Pisa. She now lives in Rome, where she obtained her degree in Architecture. She works on colour and pictorial matter composing forms and signs through a process of overlaying and fractures. She experiments with the surface of the canvas by identifying other dimensions and by exploring a parallel universe made of space, objects and places, where solid and void, inside and out, measure each other and continuously recall one another. Reality is fragmented, crumbled, decoded and interfaced through a process aiming also at inquiring the most hidden aspects of the "self". The traces and imprints left on the canvas refer to the layering of the psyche and grow as a metaphor of contents of contemporaneity. The artist has taken part in numerous personal and collective art exhibitions in Italy and Europe.
