Beatrice Morabito | Making Waves | Modern Aphrodites-1

Beatrice Morabito is an Italian female artist, living and working in Genoa, Italy. Morabito considers her doll pictures as a kind of secret diary, based on a language of images and not words.

The artists quotes Freud’s belief that if you scratch the surface of every virtue, you will find the vice and vice versa.

“I take pictures only following my own pleasure. Taking inspiration only from my inner world or from my feelings. Nothing has been done without feeling it on my own skin, and the dolls are a mirror of the feelings I have at that moment. I must feel what I’m doing, or the picture will be flat, without any soul. Away from concepts and away from perfection, I only show a secret world where the subconscious lives and every desire can become a reality.” - Beatrice Morabito

Morabito says that she shows her vices, so that someone can find her virtues.

“Love, passion, sadism, masochism, sorrow, pleasure, hate, hunger, rage, rgret, fetishism — they have always been with humans.”

The Artist says that she loves to see how her images are interpreted by viewers. We are very intrigued by her art, which comes at a moment when a conversation about BDSM is bubbling in Anne’s Sensually Yours column: Flogging and BDSM | Can Someone Explain the Difference?
