Mariateresa Sartori (Venice, 1961)

graduates in German Studies; since 1999, she has been teaching drawing to absolute beginners applying the method of B. Edwards, Drawing on the right side of the brain. The same neuro-scientific assumptions move her artistic research into an investigation in which the language of art connects with different cognitive practices. In particular, the artist reflects on the individual inclination to bring personal experiences back to general principles capable of offering a scientific explanation. Alongside the interest in neuro-sciences, the artist cultivates that for behavioral psychology and language, considered as organized systems and emotions, which are often connected to music. Every work has as its starting point the empirically found real data. The cognitive project represents the work, which the artist conveys through different artistic means.
