Ana Mazzei

By LatAm ARTE

Born in São Paulo, where she lives and works, artist Ana Mazzel brings the universe of theatre and literature to her practice. Her works are like pieces and fragments of myths, lives and fiction. At other times, her works embody different situations based on observation and staging that come to life through installations, sculptures, drawings, photographs and performances. Theatrical elements are recurring themes in her practice. Mazzei sees the theatre as a field of real experience where you never know what will come next. Since the beginning of her career, Mazzei has explored a widely experimental practice in which she appropriates different materials such as cement, wood, felt and cloth, connecting to the environments in which she works. The artist moves easily among the universes of painting, sculpture, videos and installations.
