Veronica de Giovanelli is an Italian artist whose work explores the transformative processes of the landscape, oscillating between appearance and disappearance. Her pictorial practice—rooted in layering, erasure, and transparency—approaches the landscape as a palimpsest of materials, memories, and events. Through slow, deliberate gestures, she constructs suspended images where control and surrender intertwine. Painting, collage, frottage, and installation become ways for her to express the fragility of the visible. In this way, she develops a sensitive visual language that renders perceptible what is buried or in transformation.
She holds a master’s degree from La Cambre in Brussels and from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, after having studied at Middlesex University in London (Erasmus+). She has received several awards: the Prix Emma du Cayla-Martin from the Royal Academy of Belgium (2020), the Laurent Moonens Prize (Brussels, 2019), the Celeste Prize (Milan, 2015), as well as the creative support grant from the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles (2025) and the scholarship from the Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa (Venice, 2013). She has been artist-in-residence at the Fondation Moonens and the Fondation Boghossian in Brussels, at CIP in Sprimont, at Dolomiti Contemporanee in Italy, at RAVI in Liège, and at NKD in Norway. Since 2013, she has exhibited regularly across Europe. In 2021, she presented her first museum solo exhibition at the Galleria Civica di Trento (MART Museum) in Italy, which dedicated a monograph to her work.
