“Solving the secret of being
The meaning of life is the following:
(the rest is missing)”
Sandor Weores
In the field of contemporary art, Vittoria Rutigliano stands out for her exclusive dedication to the art of collage, a medium that allows her to freely explore her sources of inspiration: Dadaist and surrealist art. Her work is a journey through the experimentation of different techniques, a path that leads her to reinterpret the visual world with a unique and personal perspective.
The artist’s passion for the phenomena of visual perception, optical effects and visual deception, is palpable in every piece she creates. Her research, which starts from the classic Flemish portrait, evolves into a visual narrative that challenges conventions and invites reflection. The baroque frames, a distinctive element of her works, are not simple decorative borders but take on an active role in her work: they become a philosophical space that dialogues with the observer, questioning the relationship between art and reality.
The collage technique, in its purest essence, allows the artist to take newspaper images, tear them from their original context and recompose them into a new story that speaks through the images. This process is not only a creative act but also a comment on the very nature of the image and its ability to tell and transform reality.
In conclusion, the artist with her collages does not limit herself to creating aesthetically pleasing works; Vittoria invites us to explore the boundaries of the imagination, to challenge our perceptions and to reconsider the way we interpret the world around us. Her works are a continuous dialogue between past and present, between art and spectator, between image and meaning.
