Lucrezia de Fazio (Rome, 1993) is a visual artist working at the intersection of sculpture, installation, and performance. Her practice explores territories of intimacy, motherhood, desire, and identity transformations, articulating a critical and sensitive reflection on the female body.
In her work, the body is both material and language: it appears disfigured, fragmented, displaced. It is presented as a living archive that bears witness to the alternation between pain and pleasure, violence and tenderness. Through performative gestures and bronze sculptures, de Fazio evokes an iconography that oscillates between the divine and the monstrous, the sacred and the profane. She uses body fragments—hands, hair, organs—as contemporary ex-votos, carriers of memory, wounds, and forms of resistance.
Performance constitutes a central axis of her research: the present body, gesture, time, and vulnerability become tools for poetic and political exploration. From this perspective, her work proposes an expanded reading of the body as a symbolic field and a territory of transformation.
de Fazio graduated from Central Saint Martins in London. She has participated in several artist residencies and has exhibited at international art fairs such as MIART, Milan; Roma Arte in Nuvola; Salón Acme, Mexico City; and FAMA Monterrey, among others. Her recent exhibitions include Salon Acme No. 13; Clavo Movimiento, Mexico City; Forma, FAMA, Monterrey; Other Colors, Galleria Alessandra Bonomo, Rome (2025); Tramas de lo Indómito, Municipal Gallery of Querétaro, curated by LAVA; Estudio Acme, MAZ Museum, Guadalajara; and the solo exhibitions Nudos, Galería N.A.S.A.L, and Llantos, at the Italian Cultural Institute in Mexico City.
