The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Painting

Anna Venditto is a self-taught artist born in Aversa, Italy, in 1988. She discovered her passion for painting as a child, a passion that she cultivated throughout her adolescence. It was only when she took part in her first group exhibition in 2012 that she realised that art was much more than a passion. Thus began her artistic research, made up of continuous experimentation. Her exploration of art as a personal medium is reflected in the diversity of her works and the techniques used – acrylic on canvas, watercolour, illustration, murals, oil on canvas – and through themes such as the relationship between body and soul, but also between human beings and nature. “The artistic vocation is a gift for me. Several times, I put painting aside by repressing my instinct, but each time it came back strongly. That is why I promised myself that I would dedicate my life to art. Everything I live and feel contributes to the depth of my work. My works respond to a primary need to communicate. Through art, I get to know myself and the world around me, I capture its deepest beauty and then give it away.”
