Marina Mabe Bertagnin, an Italian artist trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, uses sculpture, painting, fresco, and collage on a variety of materials, working with bronze, copper, marble resin, and more. In her figurative and sometimes abstract works, she favors textured surfaces and material experimentation, always underpinned by in-depth conceptual and written research.
"Art exists for what it transforms. For years I've tried to translate my reflections into sculptures and paintings, striving to eliminate filter after filter, layer after layer, propaganda and the self-serving market, to access that core of truth where art is capable of communicating with others."
His works are permeated by the theme of Silence as an ethical and spiritual value, and convey a sense of profound beauty and inner rebirth, inviting the viewer to reflection and social action.
