Description

Debora Barnaba, artist and photographer, was born in Milan in 1985 and now lives in Varese.
Today is internationally represented by the contemporary art gallery Theca Gallery, from Milan.
After artistic studies in drawing and painting, she approached photography in 2007, becoming her principal artistic expression. She worked with prestigious names: Maurizio Montagna, Roger Weiss and in 2009 Oliviero Toscani, realizing the catalogue “Santo Spirito” in Florence.
In 2010 appears on the cover story of the magazine “Il Fotografo”, with the serie Kissing. The same year she was invited by the Bologna University to take a lesson about her body work with photography and performance.
In 2011 has been published her first monography “Visioni del vuoto: Varese”, a catalogue with critical texts by Riccardo Crespi, Riccardo Manzotti and Sandro Iovine, that documented in an original way the city of Varese.
From 2012 she is working also on video projects about the body, and she is collaborating with artists like Giovanni Gastel and Silvio Pasotti.
In 2015 was published her first written book "Mondrian: Arte come percezione della forma invisibile", a study of neuroaesthetics applied to Mondrian's works.
