Ilaria Caputo was born in 1977 in Palermo, where she still lives and works. Trained in Sculpture, she has not forgotten her lifelong passion for drawing and color, and has begun to create works that powerfully demonstrate the need to transcend boundaries, hybridizing materials and techniques in a constant pursuit of harmony. It is precisely this search for balance, this attempt to describe the inner—and sometimes hidden—elegance of everyday things, that is the underlying theme of her entire artistic production. Her recent research is primarily oriented toward an introspective-philosophical perspective, placing the human figure at the center of her depictions. Her paintings also represent significant works that recreate gardens and spaces suspended between interior and exterior, simultaneously realistic and dreamlike.
Equally important is Ilaria's interest in light, which she allows to flow across different materials within a single work. Plexiglass, gold and silver leaf, and acrylic mirrors thus become both the subject and the medium of works crafted in a luminous figurative style. Her exploration of the soul of things often leads her to portraiture, which she explores as if it were a marvelous play of mirrors in which the artist's individuality merges with the sitter's inner self. In addition to her more extensive work, Ilaria has created drawings, illustrations, and illustrated plates for art books and recently illustrated a children's book. Her works are held in private (in Italy and abroad) and public collections. She has also been included in collections proposed by Saatchi's curators.
