Colosseum Glitch (2014) Painting by Gabriella Parisi

Gabriella Parisi is an independent and eclectic artist working across various fields of contemporary visual arts: painting, sculpture, photography, cinema, 3D and digital art.

Her deep ion for research, art, technology and internationalization, has led her to engage with increasingly challenging and complex environments, such as the dynamic and inspiring cultural melting pot of New York City and the ever-evolving field of Information Technology.

Gabriella was considered a child prodigy in art and by the age of five, she preferred painting and drawing inspiration from Picasso’s Blue and Rose Period rather than playing with dolls. Her first collectors and ers were her teachers, at the classical high school, who recognized her talent.

She trained in Scenography under Nicola Giuseppe Smerilli, a former student of Renato Guttuso and an internationally renowned photographer.

She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome with top honors, with a score of 110/110 cum laude, completing an experimental thesis in interactive art on the famous Italian artistic group Studio Azzurro. The art of Studio Azzurro is permanently exhibited at the Vatican Museums with the Studio Azzurro Room, close to the great works of Michelangelo. Gabriella further expanded her expertise in Multimedia Art at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, studying under the mentorship of American multimedia artist Randall Packer.

In 2011, Gabriella contributed to the development of Italian Game Art with Over Game, manifesto on Neoludica, which she directed and produced. Her short video art film was featured at the 54th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, Collateral Events. 

Gabriella Parisi has participated in international exhibitions and projects ed by private galleries, public institutions, and museums. 

Gabriella is an artist who loves experimenting with different artistic techniques. Elements derived from alabaster and marble, for instance, are combined in her works with the ancient encaustic painting technique, enhancing the expressive power of light and color to capture the infinite poetic possibilities of matter.

When it comes to her digital and video art, Gabriella Parisi draws from her solid background as a director, filmmaker, and special effects artist. This expertise allows her to craft original works that transcend form, emphasizing the power of color as it generates shapes and emotions. 

Her sculptural works, on the other hand, are inspired by abstractionism and minimalism, with references to Gabo’s sculptural art, through a technical virtuosity rooted in the theories of quantum physics, the abstract imagery of 3D design, and the wireframe network.

Her art is a work in progress that aims to capture the impermanence of both the physical and virtual worlds, where certainty and personal stability fade at the edges of new symbols, uncertainties, and paradigms shaped by technological challenges.
