Marta Ferro is an Italian artist based in Milan whose research explores the relationship between the human figure and pictorial abstraction. Investigating the connection between the materiality of the body and abstract thought, her work deconstructs the body into pre-verbal and gestural signs in order to analyze the mental processes that contribute to creating an image. She often recurs to automatic practices related to movement and rhythmic improvisation, using signs and lines as a form of personal choreography.
Marta Ferro holds a degree in Graphic Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts of Palermo (2020) and a master’s degree in New Technologies for Art from the Brera Academy in Milan (2020).
She recently participated in the post-graduate program Una Scuola at Castello di Rivoli (2024). Since 2024, she has been collaborating with ALL artist-run space in Palermo.
Recent exhibitions include: Costanza at Studioamatoriale in Milan (2023, solo), Twin Spark#1 at CondominioXYZ in Milan (2023), and Scalene at Francesco Pantaleone gallery in Palermo (2022).
