Bea Bonafini
Bea Bonafini is an Italian, London-based artist.
Moving between mediums and references, her practice reinvents visual complexities extracted from both historic and personal memory as a means of cultural and self discovery.
From her textiles and drawings to her installations, Bonafini’s work carries sensuous immediacy and the traces of a dialogue between romanticised iconography of past and modern pictorial traditions.
Bea Bonafini studied at the Royal College of Art and the Slade School of Fine Art.
