Anna Muzi's pictorial work is divid ed between painting and collage, with variations from time to time, but with great coherence from a stylistic and conceptual point of view. In her still life and domestic interiors, the artist works mainly on the study of composition and chromatic combinations, with a seemingly casual rational that seems to echo the first "assemblages" of Dadaist ancestry and the Duchampian’s objets trouvés. The artist uses a similar process when works with collage.

The figures and shapes appear almost like simple colours and geometries, which Anna Muzi approaches and overlaps one on anoth er, decontextualising them from each of their functions and pre - established order. Even in portraiture, the painter sets the characters against domestic backgrounds, where libraries and deco rative objects can be glimpsed.
In a continuous game of cross - references between past and present, personal memories and quotations, Anna Muzi's paintings represent a refined, rigorous and essential style of painting, where every chromatic and compositional element seems to have a formal logic that transcends the meaning of pure representation.
Anna Muzi was born in Rome in 1962 and lives and works in Milan.
She attended the Academy of Fashion and Costume in Rome and Central St. Martins School of Arts in London. She held her first personal exhibition at the Antonia Jan none Gallery in Milan in 1998. Her works have been exhibited, with other artists, at the Space for Contemporary Art in Lugano, at the Stattbad Gallery in Berlin and at the National Museum of Bellas Artes, La Havana (Cuba).
