Giorgia De Stefano
About
Giorgia De Stefano’s paintings engage with the instability of perception, exploring how recognition shifts between familiarity and estrangement. Her work exists between concreteness and uncertainty, hovering in a state of liminality.
Originally from Italy, Giorgia has also lived in Holland but is now based in the UK. A background in art history and law informs her inquiry into how we construct and interpret what we see. Formerly a practicing solicitor, she transitioned to art to explore these concerns more intuitively.
Her paintings occupy the space between comprehension and abstraction, where recognition is felt but never fully grasped. This tension, between what can be explained and what resists articulation, underpins her practice.
In a time of visual excess, where immediacy replaces depth, her work invites a slower mode of seeing. Meaning is never fully revealed, only sensed, remaining open and in flux.
