Refusing to accept one all-encompassing label, artist Tiziana Borghese considers her practice a hybrid of painting, photography and installation. Her beautiful digital images, which she terms “photographic paintings,” incorporate a breadth of mediums and influences. Although shot with a camera, each photograph is like a painting without pigment, with multiple artistic elements drawn from her multidisciplinary focus. Ambiguous in its imagery and interpretation, it alludes to a narrative hidden just below the surface. Sometimes, digitally altered, the photographs draw from Surrealist vocabulary, as well as contemporary issues, to produce a dreamlike vision that causes the viewer to ponder the image before him and thus question his trust of the natural world.

Not adherent to one sole influence, Borghese’s works evidence a deep understanding and fluent education in aesthetics and art theory, current affairs, and international cinema.
Tiziana Borghese is the 2008 recipient of the Terry Cutler Acquisitive Arts Prize and her evocative series, “Creature Within,” is being used in some Baha’i meditation classes in Sydney. Represented in a number of major private collections, Tiziana Borghese lives and works in Melbourne, Australia.
