Lea Culetto (b.1995, Slovenia) completed her postgraduate studies in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, University of Ljubljana in 2019. Culetto creates embroidery, clothing, assemblages, objects and installations through which she addresses feminist issues using humour and the aesthetics of kitsch. In her artistic practice, she examines the subtle ways of upbringing, social perceptions and expectations related to gender, and how these manifest in everyday life. She is particularly interested in the process of objectification of the female body in contemporary society, how it emphasizes the significance of appearance as a means to control the body. She lives and works in Slovenia.
