Evelyn La Starza

Evelyn La Starza, a contemporary Italian painter, is a true embodiment of artistic eclecticism, ceaselessly pushing the boundaries of her creativity through experimentation. Born and raised in the vibrant city of Milan, her artistic journey spans over three decades, characterized by a profound connection between introspection, intuition, and the spontaneous joy of paint.

From a young age, La Starza found solace and self-expression in art, using it as a means to comfort her introspective and introverted soul. Her journey as a self-taught artist began during her teenage years, evolving alongside her experiences and personal growth. While navigating the tapestry of life, she explored diverse career paths, initially working as an interior decorator and later venturing into the realm of jewelry-accessory design. In 2004, she founded her own brand, enjoying a successful 15-year career in the industry.

However, La Starza's artistic calling remained steadfast. Fueled by a deep-seated passion for painting, she eventually realized that the time had come to fully immerse herself in her true artistic pursuit. This pivotal moment marked a transition from a successful career in design to the world of canvas and pigments.
