Sonia Giuliani | Memories from Colors

Sonia Giuliani was born in Massalombarda, Ravenna, Italy. She lives in Trento. Her first contact with painting and the canvas was at a very early age. Intentionally, far from the traditional schools of fine arts she developed her technique through the individual experimentation in constant and close contact with the language of geometry and physics, two subjects which she taught until 2001 in high school. Her background allowed her to connect with the beauty and complexity of the matter and color which she captures and expresses with her intense lines and strokes through vivid and vibrant images. She has presented her work through several solo and group exhibitions in Italy and has received good appreciation from critics. [Biography updated on: 4/3/2015]
