Giada Rotundo
Giada is an Italian painter based in Lombardy, whose work explores the complexity of female identity through realism, symbolism, and emotional depth. She graduated with honors from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Milano and has been working as a professional artist for over ten years. Her practice is rooted in oil painting on canvas, with a focus on the female figure, often portrayed in suspended moments of intimacy, resistance, and reflection.
Her compositions are cinematic and psychologically charged, combining traditional techniques with contemporary themes such as gender-based violence, ecological symbolism, and mythological resonance. Nudity, when present, is treated as a language of vulnerability and memory, never as mere display. Giada’s work has been described as visually striking and socially engaged, blending cold light, rarefied spaces, and surreal elements to evoke both personal and collective narratives.
Over the years, she has exhibited extensively across Europe and internationally, with solo and group shows in Italy, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Chile, and the United States. Her most recent exhibitions include:
Eterea – Tra Natura e Mito, Artroom, Genova (2025)
Dolci Assenze, Galleria Triphé, Rome (2024)
City of Stars, Iperspazio, Milan (2024)

Profusion, Norbertellen Gallery, Los Angeles (2020)
Body Language, Galleria Tirabasso, Milan (2019)

Her painting Night and Day was acquired into the Ceravento Collection in 2023. Giada has also participated in major art fairs and public art projects, including The Others Art Fair (Turin), Every Woman Biennial (London and Turin), and Visioni Altre Gallery (Venice).
Looking forward, Giada continues to expand her visual language through interdisciplinary collaborations and international residencies, with the aim of creating works that are both aesthetically compelling and socially transformative.
