ALICE BAIARDELLI
Alice Baiardelli is an Italian contemporary figurative painter whose work explores human relationships, vulnerability and resilience through expressive figures, floral symbolism and the emotional depth of oil painting.
Born in Narni, Umbria, and based in Padua, Alice studied at the Orneore Metelli Art School in Terni. Her connection to classical painting, particularly the work of Caravaggio, informs a practice that brings traditional influences into dialogue with contemporary experience.
For Alice, painting is a language for feelings that resist words. Her work examines intimacy, personal identity and the contradictions of everyday life, inviting viewers to connect with the emotional experiences behind each composition.
In her series Ferite fiorite (Blooming Wounds), created in 2021, flowers become symbols of beauty, suffering and resilience. Across four original oil paintings, figurative imagery and floral elements explore the delicate relationship between emotional wounds and renewal.
Her evolving practice also addresses body image, motherhood and the expectations society places on individuals. Throughout her work, Alice remains committed to the freedom and sincerity that first drew her to painting.
