About the artwork

Among the series, Vanitas speaks most directly to the tension between beauty and transience. Deep reds, earthy tones and blue accents gather densely at the centre before breaking apart toward the outer edge, where the composition appears to fragment and disappear. The title recalls the historic idea of vanitas: the awareness that beauty, life and material existence are inevitably temporary. Annalu approaches this not with melancholy, but with a sense of transformation. Dissolution becomes another form of becoming. In this suspended moment between presence and disappearance, Vanitas reminds us that endings may also contain the possibility of renewal, rebirth and another beginning.

About the artist

Annalù’s art is a study in controlled chaos—a poetic union of matter and spirit. Working primarily in resin and mixed media, she crafts sculptures that appear impossibly delicate, almost caught in the act of dissolving or forming. Her meticulous layering process captures fleeting moments of transition: paper pages flutter mid-air, glass petals shimmer with movement, and roots and branches fracture into crystal-like forms. Far from static objects, her creations are dynamic, as if breathing or evolving before our eyes. Annalù often explores themes of metamorphosis and impermanence, invoking the cycles of nature and the unseen energies that govern transformation.

The influence of alchemy is deeply embedded in her work—not only through the merging of materials, but also through the sense of inner transmutation her art conveys. Her sculptures are visual meditations on change, spiritual growth, and the dualities between fragility and strength, chaos and harmony. Her approach is both technical and intuitive. By dominating physical materials—resin, sand, cement, paper, bitumen—she conjures illusions of lightness and movement, making heavy substances appear airborne. This mastery is not just of craft, but of concept: she creates a visual language for what is intangible—time, memory, breath, and transformation. Rooted in the Venetian landscape and informed by her formal training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, Annalù’s work bridges classical beauty and contemporary experimentation.

Each piece is a portal—inviting viewers into a suspended realm where nature, spirit, and imagination converge.
