(Ivrea, Italy 1988) is an Italian artist based in Paris, France.
Over the past ten years, she has been developing a drawing and painting practice on different media, from paper to ceramics, including tapestries, a tramway, cities walls and architectures.

She is interested in what is hidden beneath the surface, which she questions like an archaeologist digging the soil or a journalist interviewing passersby. This curiosity and search for the essence and intimate nature of her surroundings has also shaped her graphic practice. In her drawings, her refined lines define compositions where forms are stripped of all attributes other than their outlines. In her paintings, the outlines blur and the subjects remain suspended between dream and reality.

Giada’s work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions across Europe (France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Italy, the United Kingdom), it covered the tramway that runs through the city of Angers in France in the summer of 2024 as part of the Échappées d’art festival; since the 2025 edition of Un été au Havre, it adorns the surface of the concrete wind shelter built on the seaside following the city’s reconstruction, as well as the walls of the Centro Empresario 3as in Maia, Porto, where Giada created for the 2017 Bienal da Maia a azulejos mural inspired by the female workers of the factory that was once on the site.

Since 2020 Giada also collaborates with the object designer François Bonnot as Bureau Idéal, creating sculptures, imagining spaces and interiors which animate through drawing.

Giada Ganassin is an Italian artist based in Paris, France. Over the last ten years, she has been developing a drawing practice on different medias, from paper to ceramics, including tapestries, tram and cities walls.

She is interested in what is hidden beneath the surface, which she interrogates as an archeologist digging the soil or a journalist questioning the passers-by.

This desire to confront the essence has also shaped her graphic practice. Her refined and schematic lines define compositions where forms find themselves stripped of any attribut other than their contours.

Giada’s work has been presented in personal and group exhibitions in Europe (France, Netherlands, Portugal, Italy, United Kingdom), it covered a tram running through the city of Angers in France and it permanently adorns the walls of the Centro Empresario 3as in Maia, Porto, where Giada created an azulejos fresco inspired by the factory workers who were on site.

Since 2020, Giada collaborates with object designer François Bonnot as Bureau Idéal, bringing illustrated stories on objects, spaces and interiors.
