Ada Marino is an Italian artist based in Wales. Her practice focuses above all on the recollection of past events, memories and traumas that re-emerge, passing by a deep canal of introspection, manifesting a cynical surrealism. Often her disturbing imagery attempts to conceptualise the repulsion/attraction effect and introduces the concept of revaluation of ugliness almost contemplating it. She creates a variance with the “insubstantial” aesthetic photography form and subverts the common way to photograph, see and perceive things, celebrating the beauty in the truth and imperfections of life fragments.
