Caterina Vitellozzi was born in Rome and she graduated in Chinese Studies. Art, its anthropological and social meaning across different cultures, is a passion that Caterina has cultivated during her travels and her career in communications. Mosaic, whose techniques she learned at Ravenna Gruppo Mosaicisti school, is the starting point of her artistic journey evolving towards experimentation and cross-fertilization of different art techniques: from classic mosaic procedures to the interdisciplinary modes of contemporary art. Caterina focuses her attention on the relationship between humanity, nature and the environment: her work suggests a pause for reflection and poses a challenge to achieve new balances for a sustainable and harmonious future.
I like to choose, touch, cut and match different materials: from the warmer and more natural ones such as trees, stones, gold and fragments from Nature to the colder and harsher ones such as glass paste (Venetian smalti), marble, glass, iron and pieces of concrete. Combining these materials creates a new balance every time, a balance that communicates directly to our ‘innermost feelings’.“In particular, every work I create is unique, as I want to encompass visions of pure primary scenes, rich in light, energy and vibrations, that animate our sensibilities and our ability to contemplate, listen and share emotions.
RAW 2025 - Martius Private Suite Hotel - Wednesday 22nd October at 6:30 PM
"Cosmic Dance" has a clear Indian root — Shiva Nataraja, who, within a circle of fire, expresses the cardinal points, triumphs over illusion and ignorance, while reassuring and offering devotees grace and shelter.This reflection on the circularity of becoming is transposed by mosaic artist Caterina Vitellozzi into contemporary art through material, far from traditional iconography. A Roman native with a degree in Oriental Languages, Caterina embraces contamination with Hinduism without going through ritual, directly penetrating its philosophical meaning. The “Cosmic Dance” takes shape through coloured Venetian smalti and glass paste, metal, minerals, and wood enclosed in a precious setting:The Martius Private Suites Hotel, just a few meters from Palazzo Montecitorio.
Her sensitivity to material sets Caterina’s art apart from traditional mosaic. When the surface develops even minimal protrusions and transitions from smooth to rough, from opaque to shiny, the object changes with every shift in light. It transforms as the sun moves through the day, continuously creating new and different visual experiences. “I like to choose, touch, cut, and match different materials,” Caterina says, “from the warmer and more natural ones such as trees, stones, gold and fragments from Nature to the colder and harsher ones such as glass paste (Venetian smalti), marble, glass, iron and pieces of concrete".
