Patrizia Casagranda combines classical portrait tradition with a clear, contemporary visual language. Her ‘Sculptural Dot Paintings’ are created from a three-dimensional dot grid and move between painting and relief.

In terms of content, iconic figures from art history encounter women from everyday life and current social contexts. She often works with recycled materials such as cardboard, jute sacks or textiles; the relief-like surfaces are created in a complex layering process.
