Livia Spinolo

Livia Spinolo was born in Milan, studied geology and has worked in the global energy sector and teaching applied arts. Her experience as a silversmith provides the foundation for her craftsmanship. Livia recently graduated with honors in fine art in London where she now lives. 

Livia’s work questions the imaginary orders rooted in the collective imagination. Exploring the precariousness of systems that do not function because they have lost their meaning, and the realisation that nothing is solid and all is transitional. Her practice engages with transformations and contradictions that exist and transform within time and space, and that perceive stability is an illusion.

Livia’s art ranges from drawing and print to sculpture and site specific installation, engaging with sensory experience. Creating a different version of reality, exploring visual illusion and investigating the form and space that communicates beyond the visible. Aiming to shift implied perceptions by deconstructing the state of structures and everyday objects, thereby challenging the viewers’ sense of an orderly world.

Livia became a Member of the Royal Society of Sculptors in 2023, exhibits regularly and has her work in private collections nationally and internationally in Europe and the USA. Livia has also recently completed a number of public works commissions in the UK.
