BEA BONAFINI 

German, B.1990

Bea Bonafini is an interdisciplinary artist based between London and Barcelona. Her practice traces the currents between past, present and future through painting, tapestry, sculpture, and drawing.

Rooted in cross-cultural mythology and archaeology, with a particular focus on Mediterranean identity, her work explores origin stories and ancient metamorphoses. Across her practice, symbols and textures shift, dissolve, and reassemble, tracing the hidden threads that connect human experience across time.

Through extensive material research informed by context and sustainability, her work shapes narratives that are at once intimate and monumental. It celebrates collective memory and imagination across time, reweaving them into new mythologies for the contemporary era.
