Habitus

Habitus is a painting exhibition by Ilaria Carli Pàris that reflects on how personal experiences take form through the body, gestures, and everyday actions. Drawing on the sociological concept of habitus, the works consider what we carry with us — emotionally and physically — and how inner states become visible on the surface of our lives. Moving between self-representation and autofiction, the paintings translate specific moments, crises, and transformations from the artist’s life into visual narratives. Figures, garments, and objects function as carriers of experience, blurring the boundary between intimacy and the outside world.

Created on stretched paper, a material both fragile and resistant, the works unfold as chapters within a cyclical narrative of experience. The paintings approach time not as linear progress, but as a sequence of returning states and transformations that shape how the self moves through the world.
