Tryptych of Malice by Giulia Salza
Acrylic on Canvas, 2022, Italy/USA
Size 108” x 72”
The Triptych of Malice is a composition of three acrylic paintings. It was born in 2022. The whole piece is about an ancestral journey through the deepest emotions that run our mind, the resistances that prevent us from cooperating with others and the difficult path to open ourselves towards collaboration and sharing.
Hailing from the enchanting landscapes of Italy, Giulia Salza immersed herself in its rich culture for most of her life. Armed with a Master’s degree in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Turin, she embarked on a fulfilling career as a literature Italian teacher, sharing her passion for Italian literature and history in high schools for many years.
However, her true calling has always been art. Over a decade ago, she embarked on a transformative journey, earning a three-year diploma in Illustration from the "International School of Comics" in Turin. This marked the beginning of her professional art career, a journey shaped by the ebbs and flows of her emotions and experiences.
Her artistic evolution took an unexpected turn when she discovered live painting. Partnering with Eleonora Frida Mino, a theatrical author and performer, she had the privilege of participating in numerous shows dedicated to the courageous women who have stood against the mafia. On stage, she translated narratives into vibrant visual expressions, painting alongside live performances and music, breathing life into the theatrical world.
Since then, her involvement in live sketching and painting has flourished, extending to diverse projects such as "A TODO COLOR," an exploration of Argentine Tango, and the "Vetrina moving bodies festival," celebrating Butoh dance on an international stage.
Now based in Chicago, she is currently immersed in a project centered around Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy," a profound source of inspiration for her life and artistic work. Beyond the canvas, she collaborates with the theatrical company in Italy, crafting video art scenery and illustrations. Their collective efforts also extend to the creation of picture books inspired by their performances, further bridging the realms of visual art and storytelling.
