Maïmouna Guerresi
About
Maïmouna Guerresi (born Patrizia Guerresi, 1951, Italy) is an Italian multimedia artist working with photography, sculpture, video, and installation. Born in Italy to a religious Catholic family, she converted to Islam with strong Sufi-orientation in 1991. Her work presents an intimate perspective on the spirituality of human beings and their relationship to their inner mystical dimension. Guerresi's images are delicate narratives with fluid sequencing, and an appreciation of shared humanity beyond borders – psychological, cultural, religious and political. Recurrent metaphors such as milk, light, the hijab, trees, and contrasting white and black create awareness of the vital unifying qualities of Islamic spirituality, while Guerresi's work's embrace of hybrid spirituality and African, Asian, and European cultural ancestry ultimately reflects that of her global approach to both art and life. Guerresi lives and works in Verona, Milan, Italy, New York City and Dakar, Senegal.
