Currently living and working between London (UK) and Rimini (IT). Working with paint, collage and sound, Vonbrota’s work addresses the excess of imagery and information that surrounds us and reflects on the psychic catastrophe, mental and planetary exhaustion that we experience in our age. Through painting and composing found images, her works create hallucinatory realms and chaotic narratives, where photographic images and visionary landscapes mix. Her practice references the wide texture of Italian and European painting in a dialogue that reflects on the timeless duality of humanity, where images of violence are mixed with laughter, orgies and nonsense, in a parody of the pathetic, hilarious, tragic and the epic at the same time. A journey of humanity through history and time.
