Federica Furbelli
Varese Italia, b. 1988
Biography
Federica Furbelli (1988, Varese, Italy) is a visual artist based in Mallorca whose practice centers on psychogeography, exploring drift, movement, and the relationship between nature, humanity, and landscape. Her work investigates how navigating, walking, and slow travel become artistic and spiritual acts that resist contemporary immediacy while capturing moments of mindful attention. Nomadism—relocating the studio to wilder territories—creates a profound interdependence with the environment and challenges rationalism as the sole mode of knowledge. Her sensorial spaces function as offerings that invite presence and a return to what is essential.
She has presented numerous solo and group exhibitions, including the solo shows Banana Joe at Malpaís (Barcelona, 2025), Atlantic Crossing at Fundación Mapfre (La Laguna, 2023), and A New Error at the Museum of Fine Arts of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (2023). Her group exhibitions include 2025_N3 at Piramidón (Barcelona, 2025), Floating Curtains at kulturundgut (Hamburg, 2024), and Underthebridge at Weissraum Design Forum (Innsbruck, 2024).
Furbelli has developed artist residencies at Piramidón and Malpaís (Barcelona), Fresco (Madrid), and Konvent0 (Berga). She has also created numerous murals in Spain and abroad, including projects for NorthWestWalls (Belgium, 2022), Saladina Fest (Mallorca, 2023), Ciudad Mural (Mexico, 2019), and Palma Art Festival (France, 2025).
Her career has been recognized with several awards, including the First Prize and Gold Medal of the “Palacio de Quintanar” Landscape Scholarship, First Prize at the XXXI Sculpture and Painting Competition “Óscar Domínguez,” and First Prize at the XXII National Painting Award “Enrique Lite.”
