Matilde Bellomo
Visual artist based in Italy
Matilde Bellomo is a visual artist whose work revolves around femininity, sexuality, and mysticism. She draws inspiration from mythology and folklore, as well as metamorphic phenomena. Her subjects are hybrid women who thrive in the unknown. Matilde's artistic process begins with researching the mythological context of the occult. She is interested in rituals and traditions that have shaped the rich cultural history of her birth ground in Sicily. Her research translates into art making, establishing an intimate dialogue with each piece. In her work, she developed a continuous transformation of the female body. The physicality of the work is essential. It comes alive through the tension between the subjects' force and fragility.
