Born in Buenos Aires and based in Rio de Janeiro, Adriana Nataloni has carved
out a unique path in the contemporary art scene. From the very beginning, her
creative restlessness has fueled a continuous exploration of techniques and
materials, resulting in a visual language that challenges conventions and invites
deep reflection.
Influenced by artistic experiences between Brazil and France, Adriana moves
seamlessly
across
multiple
disciplines,
including
painting,
drawing,
photography, and installation. Her work is rooted in the fusion of the inorganic—
plastic materials and remnants of consumer society—with a discourse that
evokes the Anthropocene and questions the ephemerality of human existence.
Throughout her career, she has participated in major exhibitions, such as
“Consumíveis” at Galeria Artnova and “Laboratórios de Atmosferas” at Espaço
Cultural Municipal Sérgio Porto. Her works, woven with a dialogue between
chaos and order, challenge industrial aesthetics and call for a deeper
understanding of the relationship between matter and time. Art critic Marco
Cavalcanti highlights her approach as a revival of the Dadaist legacy, evoking
the rebellious spirit of artistic movements like Black Mountain College.
Her art transforms plastic waste and other inorganic materials into
compositions that reflect consumer society and humanity’s impact on the
planet. According to Cavalcanti, her work "rejects the aesthetic premises of
industrial standardization," converting chaos into a powerful aesthetic and
philosophical statement.
By exploring the nuances of transformation and resilience, Adriana invites the
viewer to contemplate belonging and impermanence. Through paintings,
drawings, photographs, and installations, she reveals the hidden layers that
shape our reality.
