Passaniti Samantha was born on 30 July 1981 in Monte Argentario (GR). She currently lives and works between Monte Argentario and Rome.
Her artistic research focuses on the observation and study of places through the experimentation of natural materials collected in the environment that become the object of reflection and investigation on the complexity of existential experience. His pictorial, sculptural and installation works are realised with experimental techniques and material recycling practices that involve the participation of the public through interdisciplinary projects. The themes he addresses focus on the continuous relationship, dialogue and exchange between inside and outside, between the intimate world and the environment, between soul and nature, between existential experience and natural cycles where man coexists in perfect harmony with nature.
