Member of the 'Academy ASL of Paris
Alessandra Viotti-Gilabert was born in Biella, Piedmont, Italy. She trained in the workshop of master artist Pippo Pozzi, a Renaissance-inspired art studio and a true crossroads of interdisciplinary research frequented by artists and intellectuals. This experience laid the foundations for her work, which from the outset has been oriented towards a dialogue between technical rigor, visual thought, and symbolic dimension. Her career began in Italy, where she developed a cross-disciplinary practice integrating painting, graphic design, scenography, illustration, and writing, as evidenced by the publication of fourteen books. In these works, image and text intertwine as complementary tools in a shared poetic and visual exploration.
Her move to France in 2014 marked a turning point: her work has evolved towards an increasingly essential synthesis, where the fusion of figuration and symbolic abstraction finds a balance between strong formal coherence and evocative intensity. His research has solidified into a recognizable language, capable of combining visual rarity and conceptual depth. His exhibitions have resonated internationally, in France, Europe and Asia, in cities such as Paris, Honfleur, Monaco, Barcelona, Berlin, Athens, Rome, Milan, Bologna, Turin, Venice, Tokyo and Seoul, within public and private institutions, including the Grand Palais and the Metropolitan Art Museum of Tokyo.

The CAM - Catalogo dell'Arte Moderna
Alessandra Viotti-Gilabert is referenced in the CAM n° 61 Catalogo dell’Arte Moderna Giorgio Mondadori – Cairo Edizioni, as an Artist of the international Market. The CAM Critical Committee composed of experts led by Elena Pontiggia, Art Historian, Professor at the Academy of Brera and at the Polytechnic of Milan, analyzes Italian artistic production and selects artists and works through a process of evaluation, interpretation and contextualization. This process is expressed in the final summary of “the judgments of the critical committee” published both in the paper version and in the online version of the CAM – Catalogo dell’Arte Moderna published at the end of each year.
Artistic Approach
Alessandra Viotti-Gilabert’s artistic research unfolds through pictorial cycles exploring universal and contemporary themes: love, dreams, memory, biodiversity, the universe, water, poetry, and the emancipation of women.
Her work is based on an inner creative process where the image does not represent, but reveals. White is conceived as an active and generative field, a space of suspension where forms and symbols emerge as traces of energy and emotional states.
Her practice combines drawing with a fine black felt-tip pen and acrylic paint, enriched with iridescent, gold, and silver pigments. The works are created on 360 g/m² Fabriano cotton paper, hand-worked, an element that reinforces the sensitive and material dimension of the work.
Her visual language is a fusion of essential realism and lyrical abstraction, in a constant tension between control and openness, structure and dissolution.
Alessandra by Alessandra
I create in a space where boundaries blur, where reality opens onto a symbolic dimension, and where white becomes the realm of possibility. My practice does not describe the visible, but explores what precedes or permeates it. Each work is born from an act of listening and risk-taking, from an attempt to give form to what is not yet fully expressible.
