Perceptions Painting

Antonella Maria Trapasso was born in Rome in 1965. She moved to Milan in the early nineteen-nineties, after completing a degree in Modern Literature .There, attracted by all forms of "art", she embarked on a multifaceted journey, exploring several forms of artistic and creative expression, from interior design of apartments, to fashion, to set and costume design for national network T.V. programs. In 1997 she started on an exploration of painting, first as portrait-painter, then experimenting in the abstract arts using a variety of materials, from the simplest and most humble to the most innovative and unusual, along a growing path of painting which she herself defined as "matericainteriore". In the year 2000 "Thula" came into being, the pseudonym she has used to sign all her paintings from that point forward. She currently lives and works in Milan and Rome.
