Antonella Cuzzocrea is a visual artist who lives and works in Rome, in the Esquilino district, an urban context that nourishes her research through the layering of cultures and languages.
Her artistic path began to take shape in the mid-1990s after a formative stay in Paris, where contact with the city’s ateliers rekindled her vocation for the visual arts. Upon returning to Italy, she devoted herself to the study of printmaking and fine art graphics, refining her skills at the Scuola San Giacomo in Rome and through international workshops.
A cornerstone of her aesthetic is her connection to Maria Lai, her middle school teacher, whose influence re-emerged strongly in 2006, guiding her toward an in-depth exploration of the Artist’s Book. This research into paper, binding, and book form led her to collaborate with Maison Valentino (2017–2024), for which she created the unique volumes of the Cahiers de défilé and the prestigious edition “The Valentino Rosso Book.”
Active for over thirty years in the Grecam APS Association, she shares with her colleagues a research path that finds expressive form in the creation of performances, shows, and installations connected to the poetic word. Among her most significant projects with Grecam are the installation “Confluenza di Orme” at Sala Santa Rita in Rome, the traveling project “Luci naviganti,” and the performances “Da vicino a lontano,” “Donne nel vento,” and “Mi addentro in spazi conosciuti” (June 2026), based on the poetry collections of Norberto Silva Itza.
In 2022, she directed the performance against violence toward women “Quello che non sai di Lei.” Between 2021 and 2023, she also contributed to the “Progetto Dante” in the gardens of Piazza Dante in Rome, creating a ceramic panel for each canticle of the Divine Comedy.
Her research explores the dialogue between material memory, urban traces, and identity.
For the past couple of years, she has also been active in Maratea, Basilicata, which has provided inspiration for her most recent works.
