ABOUT
Marta Porretta is a multidisciplinary artist, born in Rome in 1979, currently living and working in Brussels. Graduated from the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy, specializing in Art, Music, and Performance, with a thesis in Modern Art History, she later furthered her studies in Visual and Performing Arts, developing a personal artistic language that blends theoretical research with expressive sensitivity.
​
Her artistic research is permeated and guided by a classical and artistic background, as well as by a deep admiration for the old masters — in particular Duccio, Giotto, Michelangelo, Masaccio, and the Early Flemish painters — alongside the Symbolists such as Segantini, Previati, Redon, and Böcklin. Always drawn to the symbolic language that evokes dreams, myth, and the unconscious, through her art, she explores a realm of mystery and infinite possibilities — a space shaped by the fleeting nature of the present and the subtle, elusive promises of eternity.
