Descrizione Opera / Biografia
Patrizia Casagranda creates expressive symbiosis with elements of collage, painting, stencil technique, street art and typography. Her artworks consist of up to 15 layers, which, when viewed from a few steps away, combine to form a homogeneous picture without losing their three-dimensional effect. Her latest series of 2018 and 2019, whose creations will be exhibited, deal with the subject of religion in the broadest sense. As the picture’s motif, the trained graphic designer chose portraits of actresses, activists and models belonging to different world religions and cultures. Purposefully, she uses the “warmth of their universal female charisma” to emphasize the unifying and common values of love and peace in the world religions of Buddhism, Shinto, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Christianity. Applied to the question of faith, each picture carries the humanistic message that personal faith can take on many appearances, manifestations and shades. However, the language of charity and peace remains the same.
Patrizia Casagranda worked as a successful graphic designer for several years before she devoted herself completely to her work as an artist in 2015. In the last four years she has been part of over 50 group and solo exhibitions and has participated in various art fairs. Thanks to her unmistakable style, she was soon able to experience considerable success on the international art scene.Currently she works predominantly in Germany, the Netherlands and India.
