EGLE Painting

graduated from the Art Institute of Forli and subsequently received a degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. When I was fi ve years old, I decided to bring my drawings to the Cesena-born painter, Maria Pasini Morigi, and asked her to display them along with her work at an exhibition she was holding in Badia Prataglia. The following day she informed me my drawings were the most appreciated. There and then, I decided to become an artist. My first exhibition took place in 1990 at the ‘Sala XC Pacifici’ in Forli. Around the same time, I found a workshop in a beautiful old tobacco barn in Gambettola, which would then become my workshop for the next 20 years. At the academy of Fine Arts, I met the person whom I consider to be my mentor and teacher, Enrico Lombardi, and along with him, I exhibited my work at several important art fairs. In 1995, I won 3rd prize in the Romagna Biennial Art Competition at the ‘Palazzo del Ridotto. In 1999 the city of Cesena recognises me as a young ‘Cesenate’ artist. From 2002 to 2010 I put my career on hold to become a mother to three children. In 2013 I resumed my activities as an artist and now exhibit my work in various galleries. My artistic research becomes ever more active and I’m currently collaborating with two galleries in Florence and one in Ferrara, as well as having some of my pieces presented at various Art Fairs in the USA.
