BNP Paribas Swiss Foundation enriches its art collection with a work of the young Swiss artist Aline Petrò

Aline, who graduated in 2023 with a Master of Fine Arts from the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdk), is a promising young talent in the Swiss artistic scene. She draws inspiration from the “childlike creative ego”, questioning whether this creative state is merely a nostalgic flashback to a time that no longer exists in the same way. “These questions form the core of my exploration in my artistic practice”, she says, aiming to connect with this childlike creativity as a place of dreams. Her work across various media seeks to recreate this illusionary, free self, driven by memories of old lightness. 

Aline’s work has already been showcased in various exhibitions across Switzerland, mostly in Zurich but also in Basel and Luzern.
