BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES
She was born in Bari in 1969, she attended art high school and later graduated as a cultural heritage worker. During her university studies, she participated, as a draftsman, in archaeological excavations in the Neolithic settlement of Polignano a Mare. This experience influenced her artistic research, characterized by the presence of fluid brushstrokes, gestures, and signs until giving birth to a very personal alphabet named Rosy, Sgrif, a kind of automatic and irrational writing made of ideograms and fast signs, which to this day constitutes a signature of the artist. She expresses herself through painting, installations, and performances. She lives and works between Latina and Bari.
