“Through her playful, curious and irreverent style, Gloria is unapologetically romantic. In her direct critical dialogue with the real world she looks to shake up its truths and transform them into new possibilities. Repeatedly and loudly championing femininity, Gloria’s insatiable appetite for a lighter and brighter world is ludicrous and infectious, igniting the child within us and our own quest for beauty”
Gloria’s practice investigates the self and the ways that identity is formed through desire. Her work is a playful exercise of dissolving and remodelling of the self, through which she can navigate the space between self and fantasy, identity and desire, creating a space where she can explore her own identity as a woman. Gloria approaches her work from a personal standpoint and is interested in unearthing and interrogating ideals which are absorbed into female self-defined identity, to question how these influence both the formation and perception of the self. Gloria mainly works with video and object sculptures, tease, curiosity and playfulness are key components of her work.
Gloria is originally from Italy and now lives and works in Singapore. She is currently pursuing a Master in Fine Arts at Lasalle University of the Arts in Singapore, graduating in May 2024.
Her work has been exhibited as part of online show “Contemporary Portraiture - Redefining the figure” in November 2020, and as part of the “An artists’ market” show in Singapore at Gillman Barracks Hearth space, in March 2021. Her recent works are being exhibited as part of the MFA work in progress exhibition “Nine in the afternoon” at the Praxis Gallery of Lasalle University, Singapore.
