The artworks of Marisa Cortese are like stories, each has its own. Cortese works with all kinds of materials like fabrics, feathers, photographs. She brings them together in her own special way. After a long reflection she starts painting on top of this collage. The results are beautiful colours and textures. They create a wonderful combination and melt together.
