Alessia Adorni

Born and raised in Parma, Italy, I have had a lifelong passion for painting and drawing. Despite building a successful career in the life sciences industry for nearly 30 years, I never stopped pursuing my dream of becoming an artist. Currently I reside in Paris, France. I have a special interest in the human body, particularly women's bodies. In a society where social norms impose their own dictates, feeding our complexes and degrading the relationship with our body, I aim to integrate a more complete and realistic vision of the body. My representations of women are not perfect, not always young, or retouched, offering a more authentic and inclusive portrayal of femininity.

Although I have an official background as a biologist, I have always taken art courses in paralleI. In fact, I started taking painting courses while attending university in Italy. After moving to Paris in 2003, I further honed my skills by taking a sculpture course for several years, followed by an exploration of drawing to gain a deeper understanding of the human body. This extensive training played a crucial role in the development of my techniques and artistic skills.
