About
Vanessa Marrocco is a painter whose work navigates the emotional terrain of liminal spaces, capturing the psychological stillness that arises in moments of transition. Her paintings conjure the blur of perception and the weight of interior life that gathers at the edges of distant vanishing points. Through abstraction and cinematic composition, she explores the tension between movement and stillness, reimagining the road not as a symbol of freedom or arrival, but as a suspended space where identity unravels and memory flickers. Influenced by painters like Gerhard Richter and guided by contemporary theory, she distills atmosphere, light, and mood into hauntingly quiet images that hover between recognition and ambiguity.
