Marta Mattioli
MARTA MATTIOLI (b.1998)
Visual artist and graphic designer. With dual roots in Italian and Romanian cultures, her work reflects a dynamic blend of digital and physical mediums. A member of Kinema Ikon and Atelier 35, Marta actively participates in both local and international exhibitions and projects. She explores a reality suspended between utopia and the potential dystopian future, delving into the concept of organic-digital hybridization.
Marta’s creations simplify the complex interplay between traditional and digital elements, prompting viewers to contemplate the profound implications of this fusion. Her art invites us to consider the evolving nature of our world and the possibilities that lie ahead.
“Since 2019 she has been an active member of Kinema Ikon and also part of the Atelier 35 team. More important, she’s a constant apparition on the Romanian art scene, being one of the exponents of her generation. In 2021, she makes a breakthrough with her series of digital artworks, presenting us her personal perspective in a seemingly paradoxical manner situated between an almost naive intuition and a dark execution turned into sweet irony.”
