Giovanna Caimmi

Giovanna Caimmi is a Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna and a third-year Ph.D. student at PXL University of Hasselt, bridging academic and artistic practice across Northern and Southern European cultural landscapes. Her work critically examines inherited dualities of identity through visual and conceptual frameworks.

Her research centers on the interstice between European cultural poles, with core interests including:

• Comparative analysis of Northern/Southern light, landscape, and visual grammar
• Image-writing relationships as cognitive patterns
• Fragmented structures in drawing and poetry
• Interdisciplinary dialogues spanning philosophy, psychology, and cinematography

Artistic output manifests in monumental yet fragile drawings exploring nature trifles, light abundance, material fragility, and temporal slowness, creating timeless connections between ancient and contemporary visual traditions.
