Born in Rio de Janiero 1964. Lives and works in Rome.
The analytic dimension of Nardi’s work is conducted on a suspended binary where the female body turns into the shapes of a mental landscape, challenging our certainties and reaching a territory of conceptual research where beauty is dismantled and rearranged through a rigorous study method of its vision and coordinates. Therefore, painting assumes different consistencies, transforms itself into a wrinkly skin or into a slightly presence of matter, it vanishes into the fluid trickles of pixel and returns to deviate our glance’s certainties. In this short circuit between the eye and mind, the feminine figure finds a new strength and occupies the image space through the paradoxical system of her apparent dissolution, through dismantling and reconstruction, which are solved into a metamorphosis of its structure discovering its value in a physical and symbolic presence.
