Annalu
Annalù’s artistic practice is a poetic exploration of movement, metamorphosis and the delicate balance between fragility and strength. Working primarily with resin, Murano glass and mixed media, she creates ethereal sculptures that appear suspended between formation and dissolution, challenging the boundaries between the physical and the intangible. Butterflies hover weightlessly in space, glass petals shimmer with movement, and organic forms seem to crystallise in moments of extraordinary transformation.

Biography

Biography

Born in 1976 in San Donà di Piave, near Venice, Annalù (A. Boeretto) is an internationally recognised Italian contemporary artist celebrated for her innovative sculptural practice and extraordinary mastery of unconventional materials. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, she lives and works in a stilt house along the banks of the Piave River, where the surrounding natural landscape continues to inspire her distinctive artistic language.

Over the course of her career, Annalù has established a significant international presence, exhibiting extensively across Italy and abroad, including participation in the Venice Biennale in 2001 and 2011. Her artistic career has also included presentations at prominent cultural institutions and museum venues, including MACS – Museo Arte Contemporanea Sicilia in Catania, the MOYA Museum in Vienna, the VAF Foundation in Germany.

Her artistic achievements have been recognised through numerous accolades, including multiple Arte Laguna Awards in 2007 and 200, and the Premio Zaha Hadid. Renowned for her ability to transform resin, Murano glass, fibreglass and natural materials into seemingly weightless compositions, Annalù creates dreamlike sculptures that explore the relationship between nature, matter and transformation. Her celebrated Dreamcatchers and fluid organic structures embody a distinctive visual language in which fragility coexists with strength, and fleeting moments of beauty are suspended in time. Through her continual experimentation, Annalù has developed a singular artistic identity that bridges classical Italian craftsmanship with contemporary sculptural innovation.
