Nazzarena Poli Maramotti (Montecchio Emilia, 1987) lives and works in Cavriago.
She graduated from the Fine Arts Academy of Urbino in painting and completed her studies at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste. The research of Nazzarena Poli Maramotti (Montecchio Emilia, 1987) is based on the practice of painting and, recently, ceramics. Landscape and plant subjects are recurrent in her works on canvas, which are often endowed with a sensual charge and a halo of mystery constructed through a concise use of color, fluid and vaporous brushstrokes, and a measured but vigorous painterly gesture.
The surface layers tending toward monochrome, seem to cover, hide, invest or blur the contours of things traceable to the real, just as things seem to outline themselves from a kind of abstract magma as a momentary datum. In 2019 she won the Mediolanum Prize for Painting, Artefiera (Bologna). In 2014, the Euromobil Under 30 Prize, Artfirst (Bologna).
