Gloria Ronchi is a light artist, focused on researching the sensory engagement of an immaterial force like light. She perceives colours and light as an epiphany of possible beauty, a levity amplifier and a metamorphosis tool transforming places and dimensions.
Ronchi has a mixed background in science (MSc, Politecnico di Milano, 1999) and the arts (MA, Brera Fine Art Academy, Milan, 2004), developed through her education as well as her practice.
In 2008 she co-founded Aether & Hemera Studio with architect C. Benghi, to produce work that lies at the intersections of light art, media architecture and contemporary art installation.
She has been awarded grants and commissions from AFHC (Arts for Health Cornwall 2008), Arts Council England (2010,11,13), Sustrans (2010), Inspire Northumberland (2010), Arts for Health Manchester (2010), NHS North Yorkshire (2011), Newcastle upon Tyne Council (2011), Scottsdale Arts (2014), Quays Culture (2016), Scottish Maritime Museum (2016), Whitgift Foundation (2017), EPSRC (2018), Emaar Public Art (2018), Durham Council (2018), Light Art Collection (2018), Amble Trust (2020), Culture Creative (2021, 2019, 2018), Justice & Peace NL (2022).
