Micaela Lattanzio was born in Rome in 1981, where she currently lives and works. She attended the Academy of fine Arts in Rome, graduating in 2005 with a thesis focused on anthropology. Micaela Lattanzio’s practice is related to the deepest relationship between human beings and nature. It was conceived by the idea that all the animated and inanimate matter is composed of molecular aggregates that underline the profound union of human beings to the whole universe. She brings back into her work the schemes of a perfect geometry to arouse in the viewer the relationship of "Biophilia" that is forgotten in the contemporary era. Her work starts from a descriptive photographic research of our reality which she transforms from a two- dimensional material into a three-dimensional matter which is the representation of a profound connection between micro and macrocosm. She uses several materials to realize her works such as paper, aluminium, PVC. Conceived from a detailed manual photo or painting cropping, Micaela Lattanzio’s work consists of thousands small pieces that shaped an intricate mosaic through which the artist deconstructs the image that later reassembles, giving to faces, bodies and natural elements a new logical visual that follows an incredible creative patterns. "In her aesthetic and conceptual characteristics Micaela Lattanzio composes an unpublished vocabulary, she de-structures the real in order to explore a narrative dimension that goes beyond the epidermis, a research focused on bodies where form and concept come together into a work that no longer belongs to a unit of social identification, but that is the principle of an "infinite nuclear fission".
