Subjects: mobile combinations between painting and sculpture, realized with solids set on a rotating axis, Ancilotto’s works - designed for manual action and interaction with the viewer - are the outcome of a careful meditation about essential issues such as the return to figurative painting, the recovery of traditional painting techniques, the symbiosis between the human being and the animal and plant world (taking its cue from ethical and philosophical questions prompted by the contemporary society); characteristic feature of her poetics is the constant reference to the highest testimonies of European art - especially between the fifteenth and seventeenth century - and of the mythological and allegorical stories taken from Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
