    ALESSANDRA MONTESI

    Alessandra Montesi è una pittrice e illustratrice che vive e lavora a Roma. Si diploma in Fashion Design allo IED e successivamente in Fumetto presso il Comics di Roma. Lavora per un periodo a Firenze come modellista per numerosi brand di moda e durante questo periodo approfondisce lo studio delle tecniche pittoriche che integra con studi di restauro e lavorando presso il laboratorio artigianale di intarsi cosmateschi “Sectilia” dove matura l’amore per l’arte antica da cui prende ispirazione per le sue opere.

    L’arte di Montesi si rispecchia il poliedrico percorso dell’artista, ogni elemento è il risultato di una approfondita ricerca culturale e di un esplorazione di percezioni visive ricche di emotività e introspezione. Il linguaggio dell’artista è surreale e fiabesco e al tempo stesso traccia un percorso che rimanda alle suggestioni pittoriche tipiche dei miniaturisti del 18esimo e 19esimo secolo francese e inglese. Nascono da questo studio le opere della serie Lover’s eye, rilettura in chiave contemporanea dei monili che si scambiavano in passato gli amanti come pegno d’amore. In una contaminazione di suggestioni pittoriche contemporanee e antiche e in particolare ispirata dal nuovo surrealismo born in USA Montesi ha inserito nelle forme dei tradizionali lover’s eyes una velata iconografia pop e affiancato l’utilizzo di stoffe antiche fondendo la pittura con l’artigianato, dando vita ad un connubio inedito e originale. Al tempo stesso eterei e conturbanti, i Lover’s Eye di Montesi celano una natura più oscura e profonda che disvela l’anima della memoria e la sua nostalgia per il ricordo.

    L’artista ha conseguito numerosi premi ed esposto le sue opere in mostre personali e collettive in diverse gallerie italiane ed europee.
