My name is Rossina Bossio. I was born in Bogotá, Colombia and currently live and work in Rennes, France. I’m a multi-disciplinary visual artist working with painting, photography, drawing and more recently video.

I’m currently represented by Julie Seguinier Agency (Paris).

Please do not hesitate to contact me for inquiries, commissions, purchases…or just to say hi. Thanks for visiting!

“Ambiguity, uncertainty, contradiction – these words could easily describe much of my work. The seductive game of simultaneous attraction and repulsion, and the tragic irony often created by this dichotomy of emotions – that is what concerns me. My domain of interest is in manipulating the past and the notion of fear within my experiences, to conduct a catharsis; an exorcism almost, of those feelings through my art. I want to re-write my story, and in doing so, re-build the world in my own terms.” Rossina Bossio
