Gabriella Mazza is an Italian-born painter, textile artist, and linguist based in New York City. Profoundly spiritual, she has pondered the meaning of existence since she was able to form thoughts in her head. Growing up Catholic in a southern Italian family, she soon moved away from the dogmatism of her faith and embraced Eastern spiritual practices, converting to Tibetan Buddhism in 2016. Her work illustrates the beauty and enigmatic allure of the spirit world through various manifestations of the female divine, in an attempt to understand what lies beyond the physical plane.

Mazza studied at the New York Academy of Art, SVA, Cooper Union, and the New York School of the Arts and is an MFA/MA in Art History candidate at SUNY Purchase, NY. Solo shows include Ode to the Goddess and Beyond Beauty at the School of Visual Arts. Group shows include Satellite Art Show in Miami as well as Paradice Palase, Chashama, Local Project Art Space, The Factory, Departure Studios, and the Greenpoint Gallery in New York. Mazza appeared in Hyperallergic, Epicenter NYC, The Los Angeles Press, and The Orenda Arts Journal and is present in private collections in Europe and the United States.
