About the Item

Plum Watercolor on paper inch 39.7 x 25.5 - cm 101 x 65 Botanical watercolourist. Born in Bergamo in 1974. She graduated from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan in 1997. In the same year, she spent six months in the Reserva Biològica de Quebrangulo, where she began to transpose the various species of wild Brazilian vegetation to paper, painting with watercolours. Thus began her work dedicated to wild plants, with particular focus on the main Brazilian biomes, rainforest (Amazon), humid tropical forest and the Cerrado. In 1999 she married Brazilian sculptor Luciano Mello Witkowski Pinto and moved to the city of Americana- São Paulo in Brazil. From 2000 to 2001 she studied Botanical Morphology and Systematic Botany at the Escola Superior de Agricultura ‘Luiz de Queiroz’ of the University of São Paulo. Over the years she has developed a solid friendship and professional collaboration with Harri Lorenzi, the well-known Brazilian botanist specialised in the study and preservation of the wild plants of Brazil, who since 1990 has collected 3,500 plant species, mostly wild varieties, in the Jardim Botanico Plantarum in Nova Odessa, which he designed. Since 2000, she has exhibited her work in public spaces and international art galleries. She has done work as a botanical painter for the Departamento de. Botânica /IB-UNESP/ Botucatu and for the Departamento de Ciências Biológicad da ESALQ/USP de Piracicaba in São Paulo. Her son Leon was born in 2006 and her daughter Iris in 2014. She lives in Brazil, but travels often to Italy, maintaining close ties with her culture of origin. In 2016 she came back to Italy where she lives and work near Bergamo with her family.
