Alice Pasquini

Back in 2014, while walking through the streets of my hometown, Turin (Italy), I spotted an incredible, emotionally charged artwork that stopped me in my tracks. Acting on instinct, I took a photograph to capture the moment. This fleeting street intervention was crafted by one of the most globally influential figures in Italian urban art: Alice Pasquini. Looking back after several years, this documentation stands as a vital, nostalgic record of a beautiful piece that enriched the city’s concrete fabric.

Alice Pasquini is a Roman-born contemporary artist, illustrator, painter, and set designer whose canvases are the walls of cities across the globe. Her poetry has reached urban surfaces, museums, and galleries in more than one hundred different cities worldwide, tracking a non-stop international journey.

Alice has developed a highly recognizable style and deep thematic research:

The Female Narrative: Her core focus centers on representing authentic feminine vitality, portraying women and girls caught in real, intimate moments of daily life, completely stripped of commercial or media stereotypes.
Three-Dimensional Exploration: Her dynamic creative language moves seamlessly from freehand spraying and delicate stenciling on public walls to complex urban installations utilizing salvaged and found objects, exploring the three-dimensional potential of urban scrap materials.

Preserving the Ephemeral Memory

Finding an original Alice Pasquini in Turin in 2014 represents a milestone in our personal archive. Street art is by nature temporary—exposed to weather, construction, and the inevitable decay of the cityscape. By preserving this snapshot on The Wall, we celebrate the memory of an artwork that bridged Alice’s continuous global nomadism with the local brick walls of my own hometown, encapsulating a distinct era of Italian street art heritage.
