Stefania Nazzal (b. 1976 ) is a Swiss artist who is currently based in Dubai. Nazzal trained at the Cyprus Academy of Art and at Central Saint Martins in London.
Working in mixed media, Nazzal weaves together bold colors to create dreamlike often paradoxical compositions through a meticulous creative process.
For Nazzal, the rainbow carries deep personal meaning, as a symbol of hope and the transience of life. Through her practice she performs a reflection, refraction and dispersion of light, constructing whimsical colorscapes that depict the spectrum of light in multicolored forms.
Throughout her practice, Nazzal continues to experiment with different mediums. Her primary medium of choice is PVC, for the sculptural quality and strong color pigment it offers her works. Her use of PVC also has a sustainability objective, by repurposing PVC materials that would otherwise be harmful to the environment. As her practice evolves, she continues to introduce different mediums, building on thousands of layers of PVC strings with diamond dust.
