Lattanzio Micaela

Micaela Lattanzio is an Italian artist based in Rome, known for her innovative use of photography to create conceptual, painterly compositions. Her work deconstructs photographic images, transforming them into fragmented mosaics that challenge traditional perceptions of reality. By cutting and reassembling photographs, Lattanzio creates multidimensional textures that offer new ways of seeing the world, blending form and concept in an exploration of humanity and the authenticity of the body.

Influenced by the concept of biophilia, Lattanzio’s work reflects the innate human attraction to natural forms. She often references fractals, the Fibonacci sequence, and microscopic structures, aligning human existence with nature and the broader cosmos. Her pieces highlight the interrelationship between humanity and the natural world, emphasizing that all matter—living and non-living—is interconnected.

Lattanzio’s art explores complex systems and molecular aggregates, inviting viewers to reconsider their place in the universe. Her approach merges philosophy and visual art, creating works that transcend the surface to delve into deeper, more profound themes.

Among her achievements, Lattanzio won the Zingarelli Special Jury Prize in 2014 for Silenziosi Racconti. She has also created site-specific interventions and installations in various cultural contexts, including public spaces and galleries.
