Ariel Alfradique Petraglia (*1999 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is an italo-brazillian fine artist and Illustration Bachelor by the former Design Akademie Berlin (now SRH Berlin School of Design and Communication).
Her artistic exploration takes place in both analogue and digital mediums, encompassing, for instance, traditional printmaking and abstract painting.
Growing up in one of South America’s largest and busiest Megacities played a key role in shaping the artist’s character. Her roots enable her a distinctive perception of our world‒ Its fragile beauty, peculiarities and challenges. This understanding is carried through her unique visual language. Ariel is a meticulous observer who finds herself oftentimes astonished by shapes, textures and colours in her surroundings- Thus always carrying a sketchbook in her bag.
Ariel Petraglia currently lives in Berlin, teaching art to adults and seniors, while simultaneously taking illustration and graphic design commissions.
