About Donatella Marraoni

I'm a professional artist; my work is my world. I paint to remember, I paint to never forget. My father, unknowingly, enrolled me in the Academy of Fine Arts; at the time, I wanted to study economics. I've always painted, but at the time, I didn't believe it could become a career. I graduated with honors, then moved from Italy to England and worked in the commercial sector, forgetting art and the world of color. Unfortunately, I lost my father 18 years ago, and from that moment, something changed. My life changed. I took up paint again, opened a VAT number, and began to tell the story of myself and him through my paintings. My father was a bricklayer, which is why I use cement in every creation. He is my muse, my story, my history.
