About Ivana Urso

 
 
  • Biography

    She began studying applied arts at a very young age, leading her to attend the Regional Art Institute of San Cataldo and the Academy of Fine Arts in Catania, where she revealed a particular talent in the Painting Decoration course, graduating with top honors. She then moved to Rome, where she began her personal exploration of the technique of thermoformed glass fusion, while maintaining a constant interest in painting experimentation. In 2017, she joined the Pentastrattismo movement, a group of Italian contemporary artists focused on research and experimentation, where she expresses and emphasizes the beauty and gestural nature of abstract art in a completely personal way.

    Her passion for art stems from a deep desire to express emotions and states of mind that cannot be described with words. Through abstract art, she gives form to her feelings and inner experiences, creating works that speak a universal and personal language at the same time. For her, art is a journey of discovery, a way to explore the endless possibilities of creativity and to connect with others on a deeper level. Every brushstroke, every color, and every texture represents a part of her, a story she wishes to share with the world.
