Born in Orzinuovi in 1981, after earning her degree in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brera (Milan), she entirely focused on her work on the artistic creation and research on the feminine figure. In 2015 she was selected for the Swatch Art Peace Hotel, a prestigious artist residence in the heart of Shanghai for 6 months. In 2013 the artist’s works were shown during ArteFiera Bologna, and she was awarded with the Camera di Commiercio prize in the city of Mantua during the contest Mantegnacercasi. The same year marks for the artist the meeting point with two different cultures–Far Eastern and Arabic–as she stayed in two artist residences, in Tamashima, Japan and Beirut Lebanon, in the second half of the year.
