Trained by a renowned Sicilian artist and with a degree in cultural heritage conservation, Simona Messina works with brushes, palette knives, and acrylics. Shifting from figurative representation to abstraction, her works are layered, influenced by the sign painting of Hans Hartung and the energy of Pollock, with the occasional addition of charcoal and gold leaf. The poetics of contrast dominates her art, manifesting itself in dualisms between light and shadow, form and material, smooth and rough surfaces. The end result is unique abstract works that integrate seamlessly into contemporary design spaces. Each painting is designed to transform sophisticated spaces, adding a touch of exclusivity and personality.
Significant professional experience in the world of design has enriched her artistic practice, where it is clear that her love of art blends perfectly with her passion for home decor.
