Alberto Ballocca
Alberto Ballocca (b. 1993 - Turin, Italy) is an artist whose work emerges from an intuitive and emotionally charged process. Rooted in layered composition and guided by instinct rather than a singular formative moment, Ballocca’s practice reflects a deliberate surrender to the unknown. Images surface organically within his canvases, forming through the interplay of gestural marks, nuanced textures, and the subconscious.
His visual language is one of self-construction—at once visceral and composed—evoking a psychological interiority that resists linear interpretation. Each work becomes a site of accumulation, where form, memory, and impulse converge in a balanced yet deeply expressive terrain. Ballocca’s approach is marked by a sensitivity to material and rhythm, resulting in compositions that feel both immediate and enduring.
