MEET CARLOTTA.

Carlotta Sofia Verduci is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice spans over 14 years of professional tattooing across Melbourne, London, and Italy. Since making Aotearoa her home in 2019, her work has expanded into sculpture and mixed media — weaving together materiality, memory, and cultural inheritance into a deeply personal body of work.

Her visual language is distinctive and layered: the boldness of leopard print, the flowing elegance of Art Nouveau, and the refined sensibility of Japanese aesthetics come together in compositions where strong and soft elements coexist in natural harmony. This balance translates beautifully across the body and beyond — versatile, alive, and entirely her own.
