Claudia Bonollo is an Italian artist, architect and independent researcher whose work investigates colour as a perceptual, spatial and cultural language. For more than two decades, her interdisciplinary research has explored the relationship between colour, human perception and the experience of space, developing a body of work that moves across digital art, sculpture, immersive environments and site-specific installations.
Alongside this core research, Bonollo has developed several interconnected fields of experimentation that extend her investigation into different artistic, cultural and environmental contexts. Rather than independent projects, they represent complementary expressions of a single research journey.
A LEAVING RESEARCH
At the core of Claudia Bonollo’s practice lies an ongoing investigation into colour as an experiential medium capable of transforming perception, emotion and the way we inhabit space. Situated at the intersection of art, architecture and interdisciplinary research, her work explores colour not simply as a visual phenomenon, but as a relational language that connects body, mind and environment.
Over the years, this research has expanded into different directions, giving rise to artistic, educational and environmental projects that share the same conceptual foundation while adopting distinct forms and methodologies.
SOPHIA CROMATICA
One of the most recent expressions of this research is Sophia Cromatica, an artistic alter ego through which colour becomes narrative, intuition and poetic presence. Conceived as an evolving artistic voice, Sophia Cromatica explores the symbolic, emotional and imaginative dimensions of colour, opening new territories between visual art, storytelling and multisensory experience.
ATELIER CROMÁTICO
Another important expression of this research is Atelier Cromático, founded in Madrid in 2002 as a platform for artistic research, education and cultural experimentation.
Conceived as an interdisciplinary laboratory, Atelier Cromático develops exhibitions, lectures, workshops and immersive experiences that investigate colour through art, architecture, science and human perception, creating spaces for dialogue between creative practice and research.
Since 2002, Atelier Cromático has been the platform through which Claudia Bonollo has shared, tested and expanded her artistic research.
MONAMOUR NATURAL DESIGN
The research also extends into the field of biophilic design through Monamour Natural Design, where colour enters into dialogue with nature, living systems and spatial design.
Here, artistic research becomes environmental practice, integrating biophilic principles, digital art and natural elements to create spaces that foster wellbeing, sensory awareness and a renewed relationship between people and the natural world.
Whether expressed through digital art, immersive environments, cultural platforms or biophilic design, Claudia Bonollo’s work is driven by a single artistic research: exploring colour as a living language capable of transforming perception, space and our relationship with the world.
