artista
My name is Giorgia Zait, I was born in Milan but I have Romanian origins.
Formazione
I am a visual arts student at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera, but on an artistic level I was born as an icon painter.
Tematiche
My first approach as an iconographer has deeply influenced my way of thinking about the image: icon painting,with its symbolic and ritual charge, has laid the foundations of my artistic sensitivity, rootingin me an interest in the sacred understood not only as a religious dimension, but as a collective and interior experience.Within my path in Brera, this research on sacredness has opened up and transformed, with the aim of creating a shared space where as many people as possible can recognize and/or find themselves. I seek an accessible sacredness, a common "feeling" that transcends religious or cultural affiliations, capable of touching deep chords of human experience. Thissymbolic space is built through dialogue between different disciplines and expressive languages.From painting to poetry, from installation to performance - often combining multiple mediumsin a single work - I investigate concepts such as symbol, ritual, home and the values that derive from it, personal and interpersonal relationships, memory, the visible and the invisible.My work is nourished by my origins and my experience as much as by the present in which I operate: I consider it fundamental to let myself be influenced in an active and conscious way by what surrounds me, by the reality I inhabit, by the places, the people and the social and cultural dynamics of the time in which I live.I love experimenting with different mediums, themes and materials, often intertwining multiple languages to create an immersive and complex experience. In my installations I frequently insert various objects, poems, sensorial elements such as smells, textures andsounds, with the aim of involving the audience not only visually, but also physically and emotionally. These elements often accompany performances in the background, creating an environment in which the work lives in time and space, enriched by gesture and presence.My works can range from great minimalism to much denser and more layered forms, both visually and conceptually. For me, there is no hierarchy between simplicity and complexity: every formal choice arises from a precise communicative and sensitive need. In every project, the technical and aesthetic choices are guided by the content and intention, in abalance that I constantly seek between form and meaning.Making art, for me, is an existential and necessary act: it means giving substance to profound questions, exploring what unites us and what separates us, offering spaces for reflection, memory and encounter. Art is a gesture of care, a contemporary ritual that can still generate authentic connections.
