ALMENDRA BERTONI
Almendra Bertoni (born in 1998 in Buenos Aires) is a multi-disciplinary artist from Argentina and who grew up in Miami, Florida, currently based in Brooklyn, New York. Her practice encompasses painting, sculpture, and NFT works.
Bertoni's work challenges and examines religion, questioning taboos, such as sex and intimacy, with boldly surreal works that are all underpinned by extensive research, and are shaped by her interests in Renaissance art, contemporary churches, and past masters. Her compositions often feature contorted bodies, airy architectural spaces, religious imagery, and vibrant hues, paying homage to the rich visual traditions found in Surrealist paintings. Central to Bertoni's works is her use of three-dimensional elements. She seamlessly incorporates wooden panels into her works, which serve not only as frames but as sculptural extensions of her canvas.
