“Le gemelle siamesi rappresentano l’impossibilità’ di stare separate come nei nuclei familiari in questo periodo di quarantena, protette da quei fiori che sono simbolo di barriera verso l’esterno ma anche la rinascita quando tutto sarà finito”.

Shanti Ranchetti’s practice exists at the intersection of illustration and painting, shaped by a background in applied arts and years of collaboration with industry, set design, and publishing. She has worked with companies including Plasmon and Aprica, and with magazines such as Caffelatte and The End. She graduated in Illustration from the School of Applied Arts to Industry at Milan’s Castello Sforzesco. She lives and works in Treviso.
