Mostly dead.

I’m Federica Baruffi, also known as Gesa, a self-taught artist from Bergamo (Italy).

Born in 1983 and based in Italy.

I define myself as an alchemist for my ability to transform frustration and trauma into visual art.

My work explores catharsis and everyday life with irreverence towards an intoxicated society.

Inspired by music, anime, and cult films, I turn pain into creative expression.

I’m also a curiographer and dead most of the time.


My mantra is "Don’t Panic!" from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

What have I done? (Basically nothing, but let’s say it anyway.)
