Vittoria Cugno
About Vitt
Vittoria Cugno (b. 2001) is an emerging artist living and working in Naarm/Melbourne. In 2024, she completed a Bachelor of Art (Fine Art) (Honours) Degree at RMIT University. 

Vittoria specialises in figurative and representational oil paintings. Her creative work involves taking snapshots of fleeting, candid, everyday interactions of leisure and human connection that develop into oil paintings, expressing a sense of momentariness. Vittoria uses heightened colours and experimental mark making techniques to convey affect and the sensations felt in the captured moment, communicating that these minor moments deserve space and reverence amidst the chaotic noise of our capitalist context.
