Biography
Maria Chirco, Italian artist, photographer and ceramic painter, born in Erice, has been working with Photography for more than 15 years. She studied at the ADBK in Nuremberg and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo where she graduated with honors in 2006. The German experience was the most important growing point for her artistic path. Her works are mainly focused on an introspective research, using photography to give life to surreal and dreamlike images, tracing autobiographical textures, exploring feelings through them in the different contexts of existence. Her photos are mainly made by using analogical cameras and manual darkroom development. Maria Chirco is currently living and working between Italy, Germany and the Island of Malta.
