Mina Ricci’s mixed media artworks revel in vibrant celebrations of the natural world. Using textured aluminium as her canvas, Ricci’s creations showcase her lifelong fascination with flora and fauna. Butterflies and insects, with their bold colours and intricate patterns, make frequent appearances in her nature scenes. By blending organic materials with industrial metal backdrops, Ricci captures the allure of the outdoors while contrasting the manmade and natural worlds. Her textural mixed media pieces seem to glow, hinting at the ephemeral beauty of a delicate butterfly or flower in full bloom. Though Ricci briefly studied design while in Rome, her landscapes and creatures evoke the enduring connection she harbours with nature’s splendour. With an admiring eye, she translates her passion into mixed media odes rich in colour and life.
