MARTA CHECCHETTI

Marta Checchetti (b. 1994), visual artist from Italy.
My journey as an artist, photographer and videomaker reflects a deep-seated passion for Art, storytelling and emotions through visual mediums.
My Painting research is based on a fusion between reflection and feelings, trying to capture inner's life through painting, using oil colors &/or mixted techniques on canvas. I've been trying to portrait the inner self & the inner dimension, and what happens in it, trying to underline its physical/non physical presence in us, and how it dwell inside human being.
My photographic practice focuses on places and the stories, memories, and emotions associated with them. I explore the concept of place as a space of experience, memory, and connection, addressing themes such as identity, belonging, distance, memory, and absence. My work moves between personal experience and the collective dimension of places.
Another area of particular interest for me is gender inequality, abuse, and violence against women, subjects I began exploring through photography from 2024.
