Alessandra Pagliuca was born in 1988 in Chivasso, in the province of Turin (ITALY), and moved to Tuscany in 2017, first to Lucca, then to Viareggio and finally found her home and her dimension in Camaiore, where she currently lives and works. She graduated from an art high school and decided to devote herself full time to painting and artistic experimentation as a self-taught artist, learning and studying also at the studios of other international artists.

Her “debut” took place in 2012, when she exhibited her first personal collection of works based on hyper-realistic research and the study of human faces and expressions.

She has exhibited in fairs and galleries both in Italy and abroad, and participated in various competitions that have seen her as a finalist and winner on several occasions.​

Her work is based not only on personal and group exhibitions, but also on the creation of commissioned works for private clients and public companies. Alessandra began, in fact, to work on commission with the opening of her atelier, in 2015, specializing in portraiture.​

At the outbreak of the pandemic, in 2019, she launched her platform dedicated to online courses in realistic drawing, and embarked on a long teaching path (both online and in person) that led her to tour the major Italian cities and to have a following of almost two thousand students all over the world.

A figurative artist specialized in realism and a teacher active on the national and international territory, Alessandra divides her time between creativity and entrepreneurship, seeking the continuous and fragile balance between productivity and artistic research.
