conceptual artist and performer, anto explores the relationship between matter and energy through sculpture and performance, creating a deep connection between art and the human being. her works, exhibited in international contexts, transform space into a crossroads of emotional and sensory connections.
the menhir take shape as contemporary antennas, while the universe series opens as gateways to parallel worlds: both channel positive vibrations and reflect the artist’s inverted vision of the world. her works can be suspended, laid on the ground, or turned upside down, activating new perceptual and inner perspectives.
during her performances, anto invites the audience to take part in an intimate, collective gesture: writing secret words on the artworks, charged with positive intention. engraved with ancient texts and layered with color, her pieces become nodes in a global energetic network, transforming space into a shared field where art and life merge into a single vital frequency.
she has exhibited in prestigious venues such as the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles (Bozar, 2017) and has taken part in major international fairs, including Context Art Basel Miami (2022), FIG Bilbao (2023), and AAF Stockholm (2024), consolidating the global scope of her artistic research. In 2019, GQ Magazine named her among the “7 young talents of contemporary art.” In 2020, she exhibited alongside Oliviero Toscani and Marco Lodola in Lajatico, under the curatorship of Carlo Alberto Arzelà, and took part in the Ex-Voto project curated by Angelo Crespi.
her strong connection with design led her to be invited for the second consecutive year to exhibit at the fuorisalone in milan: at the Superdesign Show with Food Design Stories and D-segni in 2025, and with Interniora in the Porta Venezia Design District and Food Design Stories in 2024.
manuel zoia gallery represents her in milan, in via maroncelli, at the heart of one of the city’s most vibrant artistic districts.
