Serena Vestrucci

Imbued with a subtle irony toward contemporaneity, the works of Serena Vestrucci (Milan, 1986) probe the obviousness of small things, giving voice to what is often hidden, forgotten, or sidelined. Through a playful, yet direct and provocative language, the artist elevates the ambiguity to a foundational element for a more accurate understanding of reality.
