Alina Vergnano (1989, Torino) is an Italian artist based in Oslo. She holds an MFA from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Bergen (2023).

With the line as a point of departure, she explores concepts of fluidity, time, and entanglement working at the intersection between painting, drawing and poetry. On her large-format canvases, she uses dry pastels, paint, and water applied in washes, to create dynamic and monumental images where the figure dissolves into abstraction. As the figure’s boundaries fade into gesture, the focus of her work shifts to sensation, turning the body into a place of feeling, a non-contained and open subject, fluid and multifaceted as experience itself.

Her paintings are often presented in site-specific installations that engage with architecture or natural landscapes, and with the body. While the scale of the works encourages a movement in space, the fluid quality of the images and their spatial juxtapositions suggest a continuous state of unfolding, where multiple readings can coexist.

Recent exhibitions include LNM, Oslo; Sixi Museum, Nanjing; Bergen Kunsthall, Bergen; JVDW, Dusseldorf; MLAG, Bergen; Roman Road, London, and MELK, Oslo, among others.
