Serena Grassetti - Visibile Silence #4

A face emerges from the material, revealing itself while hiding at the same time. The color nuances cross the features like traces of previous experiences, memories, and states of mind that settle on the surface, leaving indelible marks.

The figure does not reveal itself in its entirety: some parts surface delicately, others dissolve into color, creating a balance between presence and absence, identity and transformation.

Through natural pigments, signs, and stratifications, Serena Grassetti explores the complexity of the inner world and how emotions contribute to defining who we are. The face thus becomes a space of introspection, a place where fragility and strength coexist without needing to find a definitive form.

A work that invites looking beyond the surface, in search of what remains even when everything else changes.

I give shape to what is unseen.

SERENA GRASSETTI — CONTEMPORARY ARTIST

Serena Grassetti is an Italian contemporary artist whose research probes the complexity of being, exploring identity, memory, fragility, and inner transformation through a personal and multidisciplinary artistic language.

A daughter of art, trained at the Istituto d’Arte di Macerata, she has over the years developed a deep knowledge of matter and its expressive possibilities, experimenting with painting, sculpture, modeling, resins, charcoal, and techniques related to Natural Art. This experience forms the foundation of a practice in which material is not merely a support, but an integral part of the artwork’s meaning.

At the center of her research is the body understood as a psychological and symbolic space: a presence capable of manifesting what words cannot express. Through incomplete figures, gestures charged with tension, and forms oscillating between presence and dissolution, Grassetti gives visual substance to the deepest states of human experience.

Her work participates in the international dialogue of sculpture and contemporary figurative art, thematically related to the research of Rabarama, Berlinde De Bruyckere, and Xiang Jing, while the dialogue with Andy Warhol, Banksy, and KAWS opens a reflection on the different ways in which contemporary art interprets identity and the human condition.

With works presented in exhibitions in Italy and abroad, Serena Grassetti develops a research aimed at surpassing superficial representation to reach a more intimate and universal dimension. Her poetics rests on a fundamental principle: to give form to what cannot be seen, yet fundamentally shapes who we are.
