Cinzia Marmifero
FIRST STEPS
What pushed me towards visual art was the inability to communicate the magnificence of being human in a direct and simple way with a different language.
The urge to realise what God shows me in a three-dimensional form and goes beyond what I can imagine and perceive is described in 1 John 1:4.
Driven to use not just my eyes but my spiritual ones too, as they light up where darkness lies by announcing a truth lived out as written in 1 John 1:5-7.
The works I have created and ones currently in progress start from a personally experienced and lived through biblical principle. The result, a change in my artistic and personal point of view, suggesting and activating a profound change.
The starting point of my first projects is based on different perspectives in how I approach to the Word. Matter, tactile, visual and sound artworks that need to be experienced and where the viewer is immersed and enveloped by them.
WHERE I COME FROM
For about 20 years I was part of the theatre world transitioning from acting to being artistic director of a Cooperative, putting on workshops and performances as director, and combining theatre works with other artistic mediums such as figurative, sculpture and video.
Throughout the following 10 years, I took part in the making of the film “Il Cielo sotto la polvere” (The Sky under the dust) as assistant editor and thereafter made three videos/interviews as creator, director and operator. I have also collaborated in organising the Sabaoth International Film Festival since its first edition.
My passion for visual and video art was born out of these experiences and today represent a key priority.
