MARGHERITA MANZELLI

Posted on 2012-01-23

Margherita Manzelli’s claims that her large scale paintings are not intended as self-portraits (though they nevertheless bear both a physical and psychic resemblance to her) reflect an earlier period in her work where performance was an important element. Manzelli herself admits that “I would like them to be different to me. And yet I realize that this very desire is symptomatic of the fact that something of myself remains in them.”
