Cecilia Volpi is an Italian visual artist and photographer based in Scotland.

After obtaining a Photography degree at Edinburgh Napier University, she embarked on a creative journey combining commercial work with personal projects of experimental nature, using both analogue and digital techniques.

The photographic genres she focuses on are documentary and fine-art photography, often intertwining.

There are two defined emotional and stylistic threads in her practice, due to the divergence between her Italian identity, linked to idyllic memories of childhood, and her new identity as an adult in Scotland, characterised by moody, mysterious and contemplative feeling.

The photographs thus reflect this duality, distinguishing themselves in a nostalgic and personal genre, linked to identity exploration and a craving for belonging.
