Symba #5 - Painting

I was born in Rimini (Italy). As far as I can remember I always painted.For most of my life Rimini has been my home and is where I first established myself as a professional artist. Some people discover their artistic inclinations later in life, but I was in tune with this part of myself from a very early age. Throughout school I was always involved in whatever art classes were available. My work was always on display, and I was continually receiving awards throughout primary school. In order to fine tune my talent I pursued my Bachelor in Fine Art in the "Istituto d'arte Scuola del Libro" in Urbino (PU) Italy, the birth place of Raffaello Sanzio. I attended courses of illustrations for childrens books in Venice under the direction of Emanuele Luzzati and in Sarmede (TV) with Arcadio Lobato. In year 2000 I discovered the passion for the wall and I went to Florence to attend a course of buon fresco at the "Laboratorio per affresco di Leonetto Tintori". Life took me to London (UK) where I lived for almost ten years and where I collaborated with a Welsh company making ceramic swimming pools and murals completely hand-made for the Emirates market. I often collaborate with my sister Catia realizing objects d'art, both in ceramic and wood. We have our atelier in Rimini.
