"I have an interest in still life and the world of objects, and in my artistic practice, I think about the deeper meaning of things and their aesthetics. The canvas and paper are a playground for me, where space and time are dilated, and perspective is overcome to organise large, chaotic, yet minimal close-ups. The motifs, taken from both the real and digital worlds, are transformed into fragments, repetitions, loops, and progressions, and are deconstructed until their meaning is shifted. The development of images based on visual associations and formal comparisons, the fascination with forms, matter, and its lack, are tools for analysis in a visual language that acts as a mirror for the human mind." – Noemi Durighello
Noemi Durighello (1996, Italy) is a visual artist working mainly with painting, collage, and installation. The forms and objects she investigates are artifacts, hybrid figures that have lost their original function and seek a new identity in her work. She received a BFA from the Fine Art Academy in Venice (2019), an MFA-equivalent diploma from the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden (2022), and completed the postgraduate (Meisterschülerin) program under Prof. Anne Neukamp at HfBK Dresden in 2025. Her work has been included in many group shows, including The Space Between Walls, Ulstrup Gallery, Aarhus (2025); Wo ist das Gelb?, Schau Fenster, Berlin (2024); and WIN/WIN: Die Ankäufe der Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen, Museum Gunzenhauser, Chemnitz (2024).
Recent solo exhibitions include Schleudergang, Dots, Leipzig (2025); Head in the Clouds, SMDOT Contemporary Art, Udine (2024); and Natura Morta, Gallery Goldene Pforte, Dresden (2024). Her work is part of private and public collections, including the Kunstfonds of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (Saxony State Art Collections, Germany). In 2022, she was awarded a two-year grant from the State of Saxony (Sächsisches Landesstipendium) and the Combat Prize (Painting category). Upcoming projects include a two-person show at SMDOT Contemporary Art and a group show at Barbati Gallery.
