medina zabo (arezzo, it*79) is a post-disciplinary artist  whose investigation finds expression and spans methods from pop art, land art and renaissance painting. central to her practice are issues and dynamics of colonisation/domestication and metamorphosis mutually in human communities and natural environments, as a sociological metaphor. much of medina’s work stems from a pivotal experience of a six months cohabitation with a honeybee colony in the house (link)

after a career as a journalist and video reporter, interested mostly in environmental and social topics, in 2012 she stepped down to pursue exclusively her path to becoming an artist. after years of self-education, she studied painting at accademia di belle arti pietro vannucci in perugia and at accademia di belle arti di roma.
