Federica Vesprini

Federica Vesprini (Ancona, Italy) is an Italian painter. She studied at the “Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA)” in Milan and completed her training at the “Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia”, where her research focused on the figure of the contemporary anti-hero across visual culture.

Her practice develops through the painterly reworking of photographic images selected over time, drawn from private archives and observational material. These sources are not used as references to be reproduced, but as unstable grounds that are altered, eroded, and reconfigured through painting.

Working through processes of distortion, blurring, and fragmentation, the images lose their original coherence, revealing internal tensions and structural limits. The resulting paintings hover between figuration and dissolution, with forms that appear and withdraw, resisting fixed interpretation.

In this unstable field, painting operates as a site of negotiation between visibility and loss, where perception is continuously reoriented and meaning remains provisional rather than resolved.
