In Ariadne Vitastali’s painting compositions and designs, callousness coexists and directly converses with sensitivity, melancholy with the internality of alienation, vitality with tension, an ironic view with a sense of humour. The artist manages her obsessions, and her inspirations are easily detectable, covering a broad range of influences, from pop art and trash to bad painting, while her themes are derived mostly from movies, television series or comics heroes.
