Anna Belleforte makes art about the interactions between architecture, nature, and humanity, drawing on observation and imagination. Her background in architectural history (MA) and historic preservation (MA) means she sees the built environment as manifestations of social history and buildings as expressions of desires, values, and experiences. From this perspective, she explores how what we build has meaning and consequences. As a mixed media artist, she uses paint and old maps or other papers to depict new places that feel familiar yet slightly foreign, creating new worlds with remnants of the old. She lives and works in the Netherlands.
