ABOUTNicoletta Cerasomma is an Italian artist who stands out in the contemporary art scene for her refined originality and experimental approach that defies any conventional definition. Her research moves along the boundaries between photography, painting, and installation, weaving together visual languages in which the image is never just what it appears to be, but rather a surface to be questioned, deconstructed, and rewritten.
In her work, nothing is left to chance, and yet chance itself becomes a creative tool. The unexpected, the mistake, and the intervention of nature and matter—be it dust, fire, water, or light—are integral parts of a process that merges precision with intuition. Cerasomma layers images, overlaps visions, and constructs esoteric mosaics in which symbols, archetypes, and memories converge into a highly evocative and poetic aesthetic.
For the artist, photography is not mere documentation, but a mental space—a theater of imagination and possibility. Her works move between dream and hallucination, reality and fiction, questioning the boundaries between the human and the non-human, the spiritual and the profane. It is an exploration of identity, the unconscious, and collective memory, rooted in a distinctly Mediterranean sensibility.
Since 2020, she has received numerous international awards: she was a finalist at the Sony World Photography Awards in the Creative category, winner of American Photography for five consecutive years, and named “Talent of the Year” in 2021 by FreshEyes and GUP Magazine. Her works have been exhibited in leading galleries in New York, London, Paris, Berlin, and Milan, establishing her as one of the most compelling and visionary voices in contemporary fine art photography.
