Echoes of Self .1

Marco Grà is a visual artist based between Italy and the UK. His work is inspired by the belief that dreaming at night is a real rift into alternative realities. This idea is reflected in his artistic work, which strikes a balance between playfulness and melancholy, color and shadow, harmony and dissonance. Combining photography with digital painting techniques and (recently) generative art techniques, Grà particularly favors the figurative genre. In this style, he often depicts female figures, driven by a fascination with exploring emotions and feelings, extending the concept of night dreaming—a glimpse into alternative realities—to the diverse realities of each inner world. Much like the unsettling and complex characters of McEwan and Houellebecq, he is drawn to the ambiguity of human emotions—especially those that are difficult to express and can provoke discomfort.
