Artistic approach

Carla Benvenuto's work is distinguished by a strong narrative dimension. Since 2005, she has incorporated her own texts into her paintings, creating a singular universe where words and images coexist on large canvases. Some of his works take the form of installations: boats in origami made from his paintings, rolls of manuscript paper, all of which materialize his "history that travels". His work reflects a close connection with memory, heritage and intimate or collective stories.

She has a strong relationship with the museums, notably in Genoa where she set up her workshop at the Museum of St.Agostino between 2014 and 2016.
