Louise Abbiati
Her passion for the arts was sparked at an early age becoming a means of expression and discovery particularly while moving to different countries. Surrounded by an artistic family, she grew up between the diverse cities of Paris, London and Milan, later developing photographic and installation projects with a social-cultural focus giving voice to what is hidden. In recent years her gaze has turned inwards, exploring the landscapes of the soul. Her art practice could be summed up as a quest for what lies beneath the surface, an invitation to dig deeper to get to the core. Her approach is that of a visual listener walking a spiritual path, giving voice to the invisible. It is precisely in this space that true transformation can occur. Art as a changemaker at the deepest level and with it, the possibility of a true awakening.
Louise is a British / Italian artist based in Milan.
She holds an MA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martin’s, London,and following a trip to KwaZulu Natal, South Africa ten years later, she was inspired to develop visual storytelling by undertaking an MA in Photojournalism & Documentary Photography,UALUniversity Arts of London).
She’s part of a group calledSVA (Sabaoth Visual Arts) which she’s a founder of, that shares the vision of the visual language as a means to experience the faith in Christ.
