ABOUT
Caterina Roppo is a multidisciplinary artist celebrated for her eclectic approach and relentless exploration of expressive forms. Based between Palma de Mallorca and Milan, she intertwines innovative perspectives with Jacquard flottés to create three-dimensional works reflecting her personal worldview.
Her seminal project, Trayma, emerged from her exploration of trauma and has informed much of her artistic journey. In 2024, she debuted Galateo Ancestrale at Edit Napoli, earning critical acclaim. She has been a finalist for several prestigious awards, including the Arte Laguna Prize, Camum, and the Prisma, and has collaborated with notable venues and institutions worldwide.
Roppo’s work delves into the interplay between inner and outer worlds, blending visual reality with the unconscious. Her creations have been featured in top publications such as Exibart, Artribune, Elle Decor, Marie Claire Maison, and Corriere della Sera, solidifying her place as one of contemporary art’s most innovative voices.
