“My imag<strong>in</strong>ative universe is a mixture of suggestions,<br />
references, and paradigms of memory <strong>in</strong> which I feed<br />
on <strong>the</strong> past to claim a new order dom<strong>in</strong>ated by fem<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>e<br />
sensitivity and delicate timeless beauty,” says Alessandra.<br />
- Exclusive to <strong>Magzoid</strong><br />
Alessandra Roccasalva, an Italian<br />
graphic designer and illustrator,<br />
lives and works <strong>in</strong> Mar<strong>in</strong>a di Ragusa,<br />
Sicily. Alessandra graduated from <strong>the</strong><br />
Academy of F<strong>in</strong>e Arts <strong>in</strong> Catania, specializ<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g and cultural heritage. She started<br />
mak<strong>in</strong>g collages for fun, mostly draw<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong>spiration from works of art, and with millions<br />
of dots of “Bézier,” she cut out, isolate, and<br />
piece toge<strong>the</strong>r o<strong>the</strong>r beautiful nature. She<br />
believes that images, due to <strong>the</strong>ir ambiguity<br />
and immense range of mean<strong>in</strong>gs, are a much<br />
more accurate means of break<strong>in</strong>g down and<br />
transmitt<strong>in</strong>g our perception of sensible reality.<br />
Women, fishes, flowers, constellations,<br />
chemical formulas, vectorial math, m<strong>in</strong>d<br />
syntagms, and subconscious ontologies.<br />
Alessandra’s <strong>in</strong>ner universe is a blend of<br />
appeal<strong>in</strong>g, references, and memory paradigma<br />
where <strong>the</strong> author absorbs <strong>the</strong> past to set <strong>the</strong><br />
path for a new order ruled by fem<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>e sensibility<br />
and gentle, timeless beauty.<br />
In a figurative short-circuit between past<br />
and present, her surreal collages are a welleducated<br />
retread of <strong>the</strong> history of art upon<br />
a technological note. The artist makes some<br />
of <strong>the</strong> most famous contemporary icons to<br />
narrate, <strong>in</strong> some sort of sarcastic puzzle game,<br />
her passions, her driv<strong>in</strong>g concepts… <strong>in</strong> short,<br />
her life. She does it with that typical, close-toobsessive,<br />
care of details that is <strong>the</strong> well-known,<br />
modus operandi of a graphic designer.<br />
A rework<strong>in</strong>g that turns <strong>the</strong>se illustrations <strong>in</strong>to<br />
mirrors of <strong>the</strong> soul, <strong>in</strong>to metaPHYsical visions able<br />
to convey a sensation of a seductive mystery<br />
where everyth<strong>in</strong>g is symbolic and engages<br />
fur<strong>the</strong>r mean<strong>in</strong>gs. Beh<strong>in</strong>d <strong>the</strong> references<br />
is hidden <strong>the</strong> explicit will to share, with <strong>the</strong><br />
audience, <strong>the</strong> rediscovery of ancient art; with<br />
<strong>the</strong> recursive use of <strong>the</strong> number three, ma<strong>in</strong>ly<br />
connected with <strong>the</strong> fish image, her own identity;<br />
with <strong>the</strong> recalls to <strong>the</strong> water <strong>the</strong>me, <strong>the</strong> choice<br />
of a life <strong>in</strong> close contact with <strong>the</strong> sea; with <strong>the</strong><br />
female portraits <strong>the</strong> belief that <strong>the</strong> role of <strong>the</strong><br />
woman should be more and more lead<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />
contemporary society.<br />
