Bianca Hodselle's painted embroideries stand out for the techniques employed and the subjects of her creations. Rooted in tradition, her embroidered paintings are charged with oneiric symbolism. “I was born in Naples,” she explains, “and my city, with its colours, scents and legends, has always been a major source of inspiration.” Creative since childhood and determined to devote her life to art, Bianca studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts until one day she stumbled on her old embroidery box, with the cotton skeins and sewing tools she used as a teenager. “It was a revelation! I started embroidering again, this time infusing the technique with the creativity I had acquired over the years. As if by magic, my contemporary creations began to emerge, and I have not stopped since.”
