Biography:
Masoero spent her early childhood in a village in the Italian Alps, the landscape of which has deeply influenced her art, before moving to London to attend the Slade School of Art.
Her fascination with the mysteries of the universe and the Hubble images is translated into her work through her skilful manipulation of colour and light. Her work has both a limitless and layered quality, evoking notions of energy, matter, and cosmic space.
