Vittoria Cugno (b.2001) is an emerging artist from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. She has recently completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) Degree at RMIT University, Melbourne.
Vittoria specialises in figurative and representational oil paintings. Her creative work involves taking snapshots of candid, everyday interactions, and creating works that express, via large-scale oil paintings, a sense of momentariness. Vittoria uses heightened colours and experimental painting techniques to convey affect and the sensations felt in the captured moment.
