Barbara Scalvini

Hi, I’m Barbara! I work with simple, traditional media, such as colored pencils and paper, to create surreal, intimate depictions of metaphorical worlds. Drawing on folklore, nature and symbolism, I try to give shape to my (semi-)conscious emotions, and make sense of them. I often feel like an alien who dropped by chance on planet earth, and my artworks reflect that perspective.

Mostly, I do not really understand the real world, so I create my own.
