Arielle Tesoriero's multidisciplinary work investigates feminine identity, memory and the complex interactions between her experiences of girlhood and struggle for personal agency. Using whimsically playful yet provocative imagery, her figures serve as self-portraits presented through a unique visual language rich with references to 2000s childhood iconography—using bold, saturated colors, hyper stylized forms, and imaginative and deliberately unbalanced compositions. Reoccurring symbols such as animals, foods and weapons act as tools that unravel the layers of control, desire, and destruction within her narratives.
Tesoriero is also a singer and songwriter who is streamed globally, with her most recent self-released EP heartsick out now. Ripping pages straight from her diary, her compulsive honesty encapsulates growing older while struggling with identity and nostalgia. Tesoriero delivers breathy bedroom pop ballads like “2313” / all my friends left me empty / stuck inside a body thats aging / while “beautiful princess disorder” is the chronically online sad girls anthem / I can’t get what I want and it’s always my fault / I cry when I’m alone / I’d rather die than grow /. heartsick transcends the gap between Tesoriero’s art and music, leaving you wondering if you should over-analyze your youth in your own diary.
