NOVA!

NOVA! is a contemporary artist based in Sicily. Her multidisciplinary background informs a practice grounded in abstraction, material exploration and spatial deconstruction. NOVA's work explores the entangled relationships between land, memory and identity, subverting figurative representations of urban and natural realms to reveal lyrical and unreliable narratives of landscapes both distant and familiar. NOVA's work has been presented internationally, including a charity exhibition and auction at S otheby’s London in 2024, curated by Dr. Madeleine Haddon of the Victoria and Albert Museum. She was the first prize winner of ArtBAM, a competition run by the Munich-based gallery Konsum 163. Finalist in both the London and Florence Biennials in 2023, she has also participated in key global art events such as World Art Dubai and Saatchi Art’s The Other Art Fair. Her solo exhibitions have been showcased at the Lighthouse Museum in Sicily and at her artist-led gallery in the Aeolian Islands.
