Nella was born, raised and educated in Italy in a family with a long heritage of visual artists, musicians and poets. Her art is a constant exploration of the relationship between man and its history and becomes a spiritual and intimate journey. With intuition and experience and never following a formula she brings together the alchemy of materials, classical forms and the appearance of centuries of aging in all of her paintings, whether is an abstract, a fresco, a floral, a figurative or even her mixed media on paper. Nella works in series and mainly with oils and uses cold wax as a medium often adding marble dust and pumice to create more texture and depth.
