Bouganvillea - Oil on Canvas by Marzia Trinca - 2019

2019

Marzia Trinca was born in Rome on 2nd January 1962, a city where she has always lived. She graduated in Architecture at La Sapienza University in Rome with a thesis entitled Assetto del Paesaggio. In the same years in which she studied at the university, Trinca became interested in botany since she loved plants and flowers since she was a child. For more than 10 years she is a member of the Giardino Romano Association, which allows her to deepen and expand the recognition of plant species thanks to numerous botanical trips to Italy and abroad. During these trips, Trinca has the opportunity to visit numerous and exclusive private and non-private gardens. Her interest in plants and flowers also transferred her to the professional field, devoting herself to the design of the green of terraces and gardens and for the interiors, to the design and manufacture of fabric artifacts. In 2002, she was forced to abandon her professional activity because Trinca was struck by Parkinson's disease, which severely penalized her on the motor level and caused her to shiver located on the left side of the body. This is an important detail, being left-handed. However, she continues to consult texts relating to the plant world. In this way, Trinca began to paint different oils on canvas, where the protagonist is represented by the flower that at that moment strongly inspires her.
