Biography

Mission statement

Art and myth intersecting — a collective built as the space where that happens.

Synopsis

Argentine-Italian visual artist and a co-founder of The Imaginary Beings. Her painting draws on myth, nostalgia and postmodern references to art history, shaped in part by a formative 2008 journey into the Amazon. She has exhibited internationally, including the 2011 show Seres Imaginarios at Centro Cultural Borges in Buenos Aires, shows work through Saatchi Art, and has spoken publicly on visionary art.

Drawing and installation about inherited objects and what they refuse to say.

If I didn't make art, I'd probably be dead.

— Tracey Emin
