Biography

Malisa Catalani was born in Rome in 1978 and currently lives and works in Bologna.

The places where she has lived have deeply influenced her artistic vision, particularly Spain, France, the United States, and Canada.

She studied at IED in Turin before moving to Valencia to continue her education in Design.

Since 2010, she has been developing her artistic journey in Bologna. Her research took shape by frequenting master artisans' workshops, especially in Faenza, where she deepened her study of materials, particularly ceramics, as well as textiles, resin, and bronze.

At the same time, she expanded her knowledge of the Japanese art of Kintsugi.

Catalani's art is rooted in the idea that one's inner light and strength can guide individuals toward rebirth. Scars thus become a source of redemption and pride.

Her latest bronze series, titled Butterfly, tells the story of proud women taking flight with their own wings, without the need to prove anything.
