The artist selected for the Dan Acredita semester is Juliana Sícoli.
With a postgraduate degree in Photography and Visual Arts from PUC/MG. Trained in psychoanalysis, she weaves a unique narrative that intertwines photographs, paintings, and interventions with cutting and sewing materials.
Her research, based on the quest to express the concerns that not only affect her but also resonate with so many other women, transcends the boundaries of the visible to reveal deeper emotional layers.
Juliana uses very deep research on the role of women throughout history, in our patriarchal society. It covers personal issues, literary and philosophical references, and archival research.
In a continuous dialogue between image and psyche, each work is a conscious expression — a visceral statement — of her commitment to investigate and reflect on the complexities that permeate
the feminine universe.
Recently, the artist has focused her research on the creation of three-dimensional works in small and large formats, using the same language found in the series The Void Made Sea.
The Dan Acredita program, promoted by Dan Galeria Interior, aims to give visibility to the artistic production of professionals with a solid background in the visual arts and without representation of galleries.
