ARTIST BIOGRAPHY:
Giulia Filippi (aka Iovi Sacra Art) comes from Italy and she's 34 years old. She studied Visual Arts at the European Institute of Design (IED) in Milan, and after she moved to the multicultural and artistic city of Berlin, where she studied German, photography and she took a career-oriented training and coaching course. After that and thanks to her creativity, her attention to de
tails and her ability to illustrate different themes, she had the possibility to work as an illustrator, photographer, model freelancer and at the same time in art galleries and fashion agencies. She realized spontaneously many art exhibitions, she won several International competitions and her artworks have been exhibited and published in Italy, Austria, Germany, Portugal, United States, Finland, Great Britain, Arab Emirates, France, China, Belgium, Russia, Canada, South Korea and Metaverse. In 2017 she began to study Graphic, Digital Design & Communication in Vicenza, Italy. Today, finally, she deals with digital art and visual design. ARTIST STATEMENT:
The perfect geometric figure, the circle, is broken in the representation of her logo. This symbol is her mirror: it reflects herself and her vision of the world and it is always associated with her slogan “I try to find beauty in things that are imperfect. She always felt unsatisfied with today's society's communication. She have felt imperfect for many years in a world that would want her to be too perfect and promotes values of absolute perfection (bodies, thoughts, job career, family…) until, after years and years, she simply learned to accept herself and turn all her inadequacy into a plus. She brings the same poetics into digital art. She began to distort everything she was given by society: everything seems to be too perfect, too schematic, too pre-set, too symmetrical and at the same time so terribly unreal. Always hovering between realism and surrealism, between irony and riddles of the modern man, Giulia mixes bright colors to give life to an environment where thanks to her art and above all, thanks to multiple self-portrait techniques, she can feel more comfortable and real.
