Rosalia Di Maggio (Sicily, 1984) is an artist and illustrator whose practice moves between painting, animation, illustration, and multimedia storytelling. Drawing on a background that spans Italy and Argentina, she combines traditional artistic languages with contemporary digital techniques.
In Where Light Is Born (2025), she uses rotoscope animation to breathe new life into an early twentieth-century image, transforming it into a seamless dreamlike loop. A retro-inspired female figure rests on a luminous crescent moon, generating stars from the darkness around her.
Suspended between nostalgia and digital innovation, the work reflects on light as a force that emerges from mystery. Through a poetic visual language, it invites contemplation, introspection, and the search for illumination within the unknown.
