Artistic Research

My artistic research moves between memory and transformation.

Painting, collage, graphic design and visual storytelling are not separate disciplines but different languages through which I investigate identity, dreams, mythology and the emotional relationship between human beings and places.

The Mediterranean is at the center of my work. Not only as a geographical space, but as a symbolic territory where cultures, memories and narratives continuously meet and transform each other.

My works often originate from personal experiences and then evolve into collective stories, combining figurative elements, symbolic imagery and visual fragments drawn from everyday life.

I am interested in the point where reality becomes imagination and where memory becomes contemporary vision.

In recent years this research has evolved into PARTENOPE / VESUVIO, a visual project that explores Naples and the Mediterranean as emotional landscapes suspended between beauty, vulnerability and rebirth.

Curatorial Note

For the Alexandria Biennale

Stefania Oriente's artistic practice stands at the intersection of painting, visual communication and Mediterranean cultural research.

Her work develops through a continuous dialogue between personal memory and collective imagination, where mythology, landscape and identity become tools for understanding contemporary reality.

Moving between Naples, London and Rome, her artistic journey reflects a broader Mediterranean vision capable of connecting local narratives with universal themes.

The project PARTENOPE / VESUVIO represents the most mature expression of this research, transforming the mythology of Naples into a contemporary visual language that speaks to the shared cultural heritage of the Mediterranean region.
