Alessia Armeni: Painting as Enigma and Color Betrayal

Born in Rome in 1975, artist Alessia Armeni specializes in painting, delving into the interplay of visual form and color possibilities. Her recent showcases include 'Puntuactión' at Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Mexico City (2024), 'Il bacio della pantera' at 16Civico in Pescara (2024), 'Non mi avevi mai immaginato prima' at Nube di Oort in Rome (2023), and 'q.b' at Kunsthalle Chiavari (2023). Armeni characterizes her artistic approach as a contemplation through painting, merging logic with emotional depth. She incorporates video and objects to create tension through variations in subject and color. A key element of her work is the concept of irresolution, which she finds compelling. Sixteen years ago, she began her journey by capturing light on a white wall, leading to an abstract piece of twenty-four gray stripes.
