Mirella La Rosa

An artist and designer, she stands out for her creations of patterns in which chromatic and compositional rhythms intertwine harmoniously, evoking a process of alchemical transformation that transfigures tangible reality into a spiritual and transcendent dimension.

 

She lives and works in Venice, a city that has influenced her work, particularly in the field of textile art. The images and patterns she creates, intended for the production of fabrics for haute couture and furnishings, are intended as an innovative contribution to the ancient local tradition.

 

Her artistic journey began with photography, initially seen as a therapeutic opportunity that allowed her to explore the theme of the body and its representation through self-portraiture.

Subsequently, this expressive medium transformed into a "magical" tool for transcending the boundaries of reality as perceived by the five senses.

Experimentation with complex manipulation techniques, both digital and analog—particularly with Polaroid—allowed her to progressively refine her visual processing, giving rise to a personal exploration of the abstraction of forms, developed from elements of the real world and becoming a constant in her artistic career.

​

Between 2009 and 2016, she trained with renowned photographers such as Claude Nori, Franco Fontana, Pieter Ten Hoopen, and Roberto Salbitani.

In 2010 her portfolio was nominated for the Epson Le Logge competition, during the Toscana Foto Festival in Massa Marittima.

Her photographs have become part of important public collections, including the Historical Photographic Archive of the Galleria Civica di Modena and the National Archive of Photographic Self-Portrait in Senigallia.

In 2020, she was included in the Atlas of Contemporary Art published by De

Agostini. She has also exhibited her works in solo and group exhibitions in cities such as Venice, Genoa, Padua, Rovigo, Milan, Rome, Marseille, and The Hague.
