Marilena PELOSI

In Marilena Pelosi's drawings, women's bodies are at the centre of dark and frightening ritual scenes, as though they echo her own torments and her path through life that led her from Brazil to France, having fled a forced marriage with a voodoo priest. She would have liked to enrol at the Beaux-Arts, but it is as an autodidact that she developed her artistic language. She now considers that the absence of an apprenticeship has allowed her to find a truly personal graphic path.
