Delfina Scarpa was born in Rome in 1993. From 2012 to 2016, she attended Rome University of Fine Arts (RUFA), graduating in Sculpture. At the end of her studies, she decided to focus entirely on painting. Delfina Scarpa currently works in her studio in Rome’s San Lorenzo district and is represented by Galleria Alessandra Bonomo. In Delfina Scarpa’s landscapes, shapes and colours do not merely represent the view impressed upon the retina. They go beyond it. They return to the canvas the perceptions that vision has evoked. The work seeks to communicate the pure sensation of that landscape, now unrecognisable and evanescent. A true stream of consciousness in which time and space are compressed to take the form of a continuous line. A Horizon visible in her paintings. A form of painting that goes beyond technique to make room for the evocative world of memory. Forms on the verge of transfiguration. The altered and layered colours allow the viewer to breathe in a surreal atmosphere.

A semiotic investigation into the visual and symbolic culture of Japan. It may seem strange, but the Japanese language has affinities with Italian. The structure of the sentence, similar to Latin, and the pronunciation of consonants or vowels give us an advantage when learning the language, at least at an initial stage.
9731 km separate the two countries. Yet there are similarities, even linguistic ones.
