SENSO (Italy) ' Derelict building'

Alessandra Odoni aka Senso is a writer - street artist active since 1996.
She is a member of the TDK group and the Interplay Art Group, and she deals also with video production and post-production.
In 1996 she painted for the first time with spray.
She prefers to create her own concepts, instead of the purely representation of lettering.
She draws and usually concretizes ideas and logos on the walls or other surfaces mixing spray and acrylic.
Her hihest form of poetry is to do street-art, poster art, writing, and the road remains her main artistic workshop.
The base of its style is a spiral purrs to figurative elements, visceral, surreal but alive forms, free and without skin, from which bud urban and alien microorganisms.
Her pictures represent vertical vivisections of elements that intersect among them, obsessive and repetitive as labyrinths, in a renewed and contemporary symbolism.
