Adelisa Selimbašić

Adelisa Selimbašić (b. 1996) is an Italo-Bosnian artist. In 2021 she graduated from Venice Academy of Fine Arts with a Master in Painting.
Adelisa Selimbašić aims to create a world in which the sense of inadequacy does not exist – allowing for an unconventional perception of the body by playing with scenes from everyday life. Using the simplicity of the body, Adelisa transmutes the idea of Femininity, focusing her research on human complexities.


The photographic format chosen by Adelisa recalls social media platforms, giving a sense of familiarity and false intimacy. The faces appear vague, representing subjective identities. The sitters maintain attitudes and are transformed into generational archetypes. The bodies begin to flow into each other, alluding to metaphors.


She has had solo exhibitions at IPERCUBO Gallery, Milan, Italy (2023); Fridman Gallery, NY (2023); Spazio Adiacenze, Bologna, Italy (2022); STATE OF, Milan, Italy (2021). She has additionally been part of group exhibitions at Nicodum Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2023); Modena, Italy (2023), The Address Gallery, Brescia, Italy (@022), Renata Fabbri Gallery, Milan, Italy (2021).
