Maddalena Zadra (b. 1996, Italy) is a London based Italian artist who works across painting, drawing, printmaking, textile based installations.

The artist’s work touches upon aspects of the tactile and the sensual whilst remaining playful through subtly contrasting vulnerability and eroticism. Referencing a variety of cultures and historical aesthetics, she explores symbolic meaning and storytelling in her practice, creating multi-layered, open scenarios.
