Ornela Novello (b. 1985, Argentina) is an artist and writer who works across installation, performance, text and photography to create work that questions the world and our place within it. She holds an MA in Interior Architecture and Design from UC Berkeley and a postgraduate degree in Communal Arts and Art Therapy. She recently completed a two year sculpture
programme at Mass/TURPS, expanding her exploration of form and materiality in contemporary practice.
Rooted in the interplay of ideas, systems and narratives, her work examines how we perceive, navigate, and interpret the world. <
Sometimes the work is about me, sometimes it is about the world. I am not sure where I can draw the line - Where do I finish? Where does the world begins?>
She currently lives and works in London. Recent group shows include Hypha Studios, London (2025), APT Studios, Deptford (2024), Tremenheere Sculpture Garden, Penzance (2024), Thames Side Studio Gallery, Woolwich (2024).
