Painting ST by Quattrocchi Rita | Painting Figurative Portrait

Italian, raised in Florence, she has lived abroad a lot over the years, but now seems to have settled in the wild countryside of southern Tuscany, where human presence is scarce and silence is great.
Her background comes from the children's illustration world.
Over the years it has become clear to her that her illustrations were not 'for children', but were born out of the need to express her personal childhood experience in which the adult was often a disturbing element, sometimes a sheltering one.
