Nominee Fine Arts
Simona Andrioletti’s artistic practice reflects on the condition of structural inequality experienced by the FLINTA* community, as well as on moments of solidarity that enable communities to support one another and build resilient networks. Drawing on a feminist perspective, the artist investigates the complex dynamics of systemic violence, exploring where it originates, as well as the psychological defense and survival mechanisms it triggers. Through immersive installations that incorporate sculptural texts, songs, videos, and performances, she engages the viewer in a physical and multisensory experience that fosters a sense of community among individuals who share similar vulnerabilities, struggles, and experiences.
Simona Andrioletti lives and works in Munich. She studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, as well as at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, where in 2022 she received a diploma in the class of Olaf Nicolai and was awarded the Academy Prize from the Scholarship Fund.
