Kaitlin Pignataro (b. 2005, Melbourne) is an autodidactic artist based in Naarm/ Melbourne, Australia. Working through colour and pattern, her practice is led by intuition, using repetition and form to generate visual structure and geometric narratives.

‍

Originally beginning in photography, her practice shifted after observing natural patterns within the environments she captured, leading to a focus on abstraction and constructed form. Primarily working with pencil, ink, and watercolour, she develops geometric compositions that balance order with subtle irregularity, reflecting an interest in the relationship between precision and imperfection in the natural world. Her works have been exhibited across contemporary Melbourne gallery contexts.

‍

She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from the University of Melbourne (2025) and has worked extensively within curatorial and institutional settings. She is currently the manager and curatorial assistant at William Mora Galleries.
