Ella Rizzi’s work is an intimate recollection and rediscovery of herself, her past, and her heritage. Through oil painting, Ella portrays blurred and fragmented imagery to replicate the impact caused by the loss of memories, generations, and family lineages - portraying an incomplete recollection of the past. Using reference imagery from landmarks in her personal family history, significantly in Northern Italy, Ella’s work reflects the impossibility of piecing together an already-broken past.
