Malena

The Artist

Malena

The body leaves a trace.

Malena works with the body as a trace: in gesture, in the surface, and in the way light rests on matter. Red, dark passages and gold become a language of closeness, change and self-possession.

Maison Malena is the painting space of Malena. Each encounter begins with the work itself and leaves room for a response that belongs to its viewer.

Forms of Presence

What the surface holds.

These nine works bring different forms of presence into view. A hand leaves its mark. A mirror returns a gaze. A fragment of shed skin holds the memory of a form outgrown. The materials carry the story alongside the painted gesture.
