Marika Vicari

Marika Vicari was born in Vicenza in 1979. Graduated with honors in Painting (professorship of Carlo Di Raco) at the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice in 2003, she graduated in 2005 in Design and Production of Visual Arts at the Faculty of Design and Art , at the University of Architecture of Venice. The subjects of her works are threadlike trees suspended in indefinite and dreamy mountain landscapes. Her technique, in constant evolution, involved the production of her works on poplar boards while, starting from 2019, she began experimenting on cotton paper with an increasing presence of watercolor. This new support adds grace to the forests represented by feeding the metaphor with the human being and his fragility, transience. You have studied and worked on site-specific projects with international artists, curators and photographers including: Hans Ulrich Obrist, Mona Hatoum, Antoni Muntadas, Armin Linke and Angela Vettese. Since 2000 you have had numerous solo and group exhibitions in Europe, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Canada and China. For years you have been a regular presence at trade fairs in Europe and Canada. You live and work in Creazzo (Vicenza).
