“ We must not be afraid of ambiguities; we must encourage differences. ”

Elia Pagliarino is a French visual artist born in 1967 whose work explores the notions of identity, appearance and collective memory. Coming from an environment marked by diversity and disability, she draws inspiration from ethnology, biology and popular culture to create works combining drawing, sculpture and ceramics.
