Biography
Kira De Pellegrin was born in 1972 in Bermuda, of an Italian father and German mother, at age seven she moved with her family to Pordenone, Italy. She received specializations and a degree in Humanities from the Universities of Padova and Milan.
Kira in her works is part of the form and material movements, introducing us to a world of visual and tactile experimentation. These are chromatic and formal, bringing forth an informal atmosphere and, at the same time, the informal Abstract Expressionism characterized by a variety of manipulative gestures, constructive, destructive, scriptural, excavations and vibrations.
The space becomes a place of organic movements, origin and metamorphosis of life, of plans and different fragments that dialogue, mixed together, crossing the threshold of mystical visions and becoming more sensual, more descriptive. The solutions are original with personal traces of humour. There is a kind of landscape for the soul, full of emotions and magical spells, rising ancestral loneliness that makes the artist’s effort particularly interesting. Her art goes in the direction of exploring the unconscious, but on a poetic horizon that emotionally presents the universal question. It is also the point of departure for a liberating opening and invigorating existence.
Her works are photographs, which correspond to "instant fractions" of visions, hallucinations, dreams, nightmares, obsessions, ecstasy, madness or catharsis. In her art she experiences the potential of the unconscious, creating, through the transformation of material on canvas, heavily marked situation. A kind of sublimation through art. It is not an easel painting. Her gestures are extreme, extremely feminine, willing to bring harmony, dense, provocative, sometimes erotic, or even lysergic. In the paintings there is frequent writing, which is enriched by aphorisms that act as counterpoint to a universe overloaded with stimuli.
