Bianca De Mao’s work is always based on a deep empathy for the natural world. She has an innate attitude to realism and her work always starts from the observation of a real model which represents not only a visual experience, but also an emotional one. Her artistic process often follows tortuous routes, made of sudden intuitions whose emotional charges are always challenging for her to keep under control. This include the intimate’ research for a manifestation of what is unspeakable and primitive, rather than following the idea of a visual truth or a logical thought. She explores the sense of the body, both in a physical and in a’ psychological sense. In this perspective, she investigates the abstract and surreal hidden behind perceptions, as well as the innate communicative ability of the object, which has always been one of her first concerns. She is basically a painter but in the last three years she has been basing his practice mainly on printing with a strongly experimental approach. She prefers monotype and screen printing and is currently developing several projects, in her studio in Southeast London, alternating them with the work of conservation in Westminster Abbey.
