ARTIST STATEMENT

My artistic research is born from the desire to restore value to what today is often removed or hidden: imperfection, fragility, inner and outer wounds.

In a society that tends toward homogenization and emotional anesthesia, my work brings the human being back to the center in their deepest truth, creating visual and symbolic spaces in which authenticity can emerge without filters.

I work on skin and matter as places of identity.

The body, lived experiences, and personal histories become visual language, narrative material, concrete presence within the work.

Through material artworks and tattoos, i explore the boundary between imperfection and authenticity, between wound and strength, transforming what was experienced as a limit into a sign of awareness.

Fracture is a central element of my creative process.

The supports are intentionally broken in a performative gesture that introduces unpredictability as an essential part of the work. as in life, the final result is born only after what cannot be controlled.

Alongside the material and performative dimension, i use cymatics as a poetic and conceptual language.

Through the recording of the voice and the emotional frequencies of the person, vibrations are transformed into visual forms that become an integral part of the artwork.

Sound, emotion, and vibration thus become visible traces of being.

In commissioned works, the process directly involves the person through listening, dialogue, and active participation.

The artwork becomes a space of recognition: a symbolic passage from fragmentation to the choice to recompose oneself.

there is a precise moment in which one stands in front of the work in fragments.

As in life, one is faced with the possibility of remaining in a thousand pieces or choosing to recompose. it is in this conscious gesture that fractures are crossed and enhanced, transforming into the strength of the work.

I do not seek an ideal beauty, but an authentic one: that of an individual who recognizes their cracks as an integral part of their being and transforms them into strength.

ARTISTIC BIOGRAPHY

Elisabetta zini is an italian visual artist and tattoo artist.

Her research is born from the meeting of personal experience, manual sensitivity, and a healthcare background—elements that deeply influence her approach to the body, matter, and the relationship with others.

After years of working as a nurse, she developed an independent artistic practice focused on transforming wounds into symbolic value and on authenticity as a form of strength.

The body becomes language, the skin a narrative surface, matter a place of meaning.

She is the creator of s(oul)kin project, an artistic project that brings together visual art, tattooing, and contemporary rituality.Tthe project integrates material processes, performative gesture, and the use of cymatics to translate people’s voices and emotions into unique visual forms, transforming physical and emotional scars into signs of identity, awareness, and presence.

Her work is oriented toward the creation of unique, non-serial pieces, in which the creative process—made of listening, participation, and transformation—is an integral part of the artwork’s value.

She currently creates tattoos on skin and material artworks on marmorina, combining the production of autonomous works intended for private collectors with commissioned pieces that directly involve the person in the creative process.
