Marilina Marchica (Agrigento, 1984) lives and works in Agrigento. She trained at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia and the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, where she graduated in Painting. He has participated in several exhibitions on national and international territory. In addition to the solo shows at the FAM Gallery in Agrigento, the A Sud Arte Contemporanea gallery in Realmonte, Spazio Hus Milano and the site-specific exhibition for the crypt of the Church of Santa Maria del Piliere in Palermo, we remember his participation in the FAM Prize of the Chiaramontane Factories of Agrigento and at the artist's residence in Villa Aurea - Valle dei Templi, curated by the Superintendency of Cultural Heritage of Agrigento. His works have been published in art magazines and volumes including "The New Collectors Book", edited by Basak Malone (New York, 2015). Her painting tells of the relationship between man, nature and time, the landscape, the sign and the trace, through the stripping, reduction and subtraction of figurative elements. "my landscapes are" boxes "of memories, day after day they welcome events and individuals who leave their marks and change their boundaries and appearance " The aesthetics of the "Sign" in Marilina Marchica's pictorial production starts from a research on architecture the wall as a diaphragm between inside and outside this takes on a strong symbolic value for the artist, crystallizes collapses and demolitions, freeing them from oblivion and placing them in a universal dimension that alludes to life and its seasons. This cyclical and dynamic trend, on the other hand, tends to expand in the "Landscapes" to take on an expanded dimension that aligns itself on the geographical horizons, evoked by a vision of reality bordering on abstraction.
