Rossana Bonetto

Rossana Bonetto is an Italian self-taught painter and professional tattoo artist living in Spain. Drawing on her background in archaeology, Bonetto’s work is shaped by a sustained interest in symbolism, darkness, and the capacity of art to preserve memory and evoke feeling. She works mainly in oil on canvas, canvas on cardboard, and wood panel, developing a figurative style marked by Romantic and Gothic overtones. Her subjects—landscapes, still lifes, and human figures—reflect an engagement with transience, melancholy, and the interplay of light and shadow. Influenced by Gothic literature, film, and symbolic storytelling, Bonetto creates immersive scenes that invite viewers to contemplate and interpret moments of silence, mystery, and emotion.
