Anna Borghi is an Italian artist born in Busto Arsizio on May 29, 1980. She lives and works between Milan and Olgiate Olona, in the province of Varese. She graduated from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan in 2005.

In her artistic journey, Anna Borghi reflects deeply on the importance of dialogue in art: a dialogue that begins with the great masters of the past, passes through objects, and reaches the contemporary world and the people who live in it today.

For her, art is not only a means of expression, but also a tool for understanding and narrating the present. She uses different forms of language: from drawing to painting, up to gestures and artistic actions.

She is inspired by the thought of the painter Julius Bissier, who spoke of the “capacity to love” as an essential element in the artistic process. For Anna Borghi, art is a way to connect deeply with reality, to observe it carefully, and to transform it into signs that help us interpret our time.

She mainly works with a material-based artistic language, using free brushstrokes and reflections on the contemporary urban landscape. She uses egg tempera, acrylics, and textured mixtures, marked by a bold and defined stroke. Among her favorite themes is an exploration of urban reality and its relationship with collective memory, in a continuous dialogue between past and present, reflecting on the identity of cities and their outskirts.

Her artworks aim to tell the visual memory of places that are often overlooked, yet full of history.
