Peeta

International master of optical illusion that transforms graffiti writing into three-dimensional geometries, redefining the perception of space through fluid volumes and anamorphosis.

Portrait of Peeta

Redefining space through optical illusions and graffiti

Peeta, one of the greatest urban art artists, capable of transforming simple walls into three-dimensional geometric games. With her monumental intervention on the facade of one of the buildings of the Brescia metro depot and the decoration of an entire train, Peeta brings a moving work of art to the new museum for the first time: a mural that, with its characteristic use of fluid forms and intersecting volumes, seems to explode from the surface, redefining the perception of architectural space.

Manuel Di Rita, known as Peeta, is an Italian artist born in 1980 in the province of Venice, active in the international art scene since the early 1990s, today living in the Netherlands. His research stems from the world of graffiti writing, developing into a path that blends painting, sculpture, and installation, with a particular focus on the interaction between form, space, and perception. A member of the EAD (Padua), FX, and RWK (New York) crews, Peeta has participated in numerous festivals and exhibitions around the world, distinguishing herself for her innovative approach to street art and public art.

Peeta has been active since the early 1990s and has transformed graffiti writing into a sophisticated language that blends painting, sculpture, and architecture. His creations, present throughout the world, are characterized by a profound dialogue with the context through optical games that reveal the deception of human perception.
