bio and artist statement

Tiffany Aiello an interdisciplinary artist from Roseville, California. She received a BFA in Studio Art from Sacramento State University in 2023 and is currently pursuing an MFA in Art at UC Santa Barbara. Her work is held in private collections and has been exhibited at Blue Line Arts, R. W. & Joyce Witt Gallery, Robert Else Gallery, and the Glassbox Gallery at UCSB. Through overstimulating and peculiar juxtapositions, she invents worlds with figures that exist at the intersections of human, beast and object.

My subject matter explores the tumultuous human experience using animal metaphors and hybrid vessels, woven together with humor and tragedy. I portray my worlds through an idiosyncratic lens, where things exist in the spaces between and outside binaries. These human-animal, object-animal figures often find themselves in the throes of conflict and isolation. Animals are my ideal vessel to emphasize the feeling of being disconnected from society; ability to communicate is altered or inaccessible, behaviors present themselves primally, and there is infinite diversity which mirrors that of human identity.
