BIOGRAPHY
Bella’s work emerges from a narrative urgency that precedes form itself. A young artist living and working in Chicago, Bella navigates a complex visual territory with remarkable awareness, in which art history and imagination intertwine without hierarchy, giving rise to a personal, dynamic, and deeply contemporary language. As a past comics class enthusiast, zine maker, and self-publisher, her works do not ask to be merely observed; they ask to be entered, inhabited, crossed like a lucid dream or a memory in constant transformation. Often with feminine motifs and styles that play with art history and philosophy, but not afraid to include notions of the flirtatious and fun.

STATEMENT
My practice is its open- ended narrative dimension that follows not only my journey of self-liberation, but also the pieces of a larger story without a defined beginning or conclusion that transcend beyond what structures or systems dare to try to define myself or my art.
I create an archive told through my comics, collages, paintings, and prints. Choosing to focus on stories of my own creation that seek to flip the script of the capitalist, colonial, and patriarchal systems that have polluted our archives of memory.
The viewer is invited to construct a personal interpretive path alongside. Designed to be read without structure or guided language. A constant alchemy of energy, creative passion fuels every movement to showcase that there is no limit to the spaces that my art can inhabit. Truly demonstrating all the complexities that lie beneath the layers of marks that build off each other in a constant dialogue, dealing with themes of personal identity, love, and the over-saturation of image in our modern age
