Avvassena is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Milan (Italy).
Curiosity and propensity to listen to the surroundings give life to her unstoppable and eclectic creativity, which is expressed in artworks of multiple visual and communicative levels.
She creates annual installations on social themes (breast cancer, violence against women,
use of arms…) with the collaboration of researchers and non-profit organizations.
Her artistic practice is based on the desire to go beyond the surface of society, to bring
to light hidden or unheard realities. At the heart of her research are the relationships that
weave our existence: the relationship with ourselves, often hypocritical and conflictual; the
connection with the micro-nucleus that surrounds us, in its dual nature of nest and cage; the
role of each within the great human community, where the symbiosis that binds us to each other contrasts with the egocentric solitude of our times; the inevitable bond of dependence and responsibility that the individual and humanity all have towards the environment that surrounds us.
Multi-disciplinarity and experimentation guide Avvassena’s artistic process, which combines painting, sculpture, engraving and installations, able to hide and reveal messages thanks to the interaction with different luminous spectrums and with the surrounding space.
