Born in 1992 in San Donà di Piave, Venice, Alici lives and works in Milan, Italy.
Beatrice Alici’s artistic research is linked to the theme of a return to a primordial psychological space. Archaic and timeless places are mainly represented in nocturnal scenes, in which figures and natural landscapes merge with each other. The night represented is imaginary; the darkness is a symbolic space that allows the artist to delve into the representation of intimate places with an introspective character.
The figures that most frequently populate her imagery are female, who are represented with enigmatic, supernatural elements, often linked to folklore: depicted as goddesses or witches, they evoke a divine matriarchy.
The use of moonlight is a further symbolic suggestion to the sphere of the sacred and primordial feminine, making the scenes depicted more delicate, dreamlike, and mysterious. Thus, images emerge of an inner world of the artist far removed from reality, emphasized by references to the magical and surreal.
