About Angelina

Angelina Mirabito is a Melbourne-based Italian-Australian interdisciplinary contemporary artist with a PhD in Creative Writing, whose work explores texture, gestural mark-making, and immersive colour. Using palette knives, mixed media, and layered techniques, her practice produces large-scale, dynamic abstractions that engage with transformation, movement, and spatial relationships.

Her exhibitions span gallery and design settings, including Melbourne Design Week (NGV), Melbourne Design Show, Affordable Art Fair Melbourne, and numerous solo and group presentations within artist-led initiatives.

Mirabito has exhibited widely, including solo exhibitions Elastic Heart (Docklands Library, 2024), Migrant Women (Le Grange Gallery, 205), Dignity (Art2ArtSpace, 2024), Transience (Ladder Art Space, 2023), and Embers (Romulus Folio Gallery, 2025).

Her work has been featured in group exhibitions such as the Biennale of Colour & Light (West End Art Space, 2024), Merri-bek Summer Show: (Be)Longing (Counihan Gallery, 2024), the Feel Good Art Prize (Quadrant Gallery, Finalist, 2025), and the Albert Park Art Show (People’s Choice Nominee, 2024).

Mirabito collaborates with designers and interdisciplinary artists, including Mark Alexander, extending her abstract practice into installation and spatial design contexts.
