Astreia, the sky beyond

As a young girl, she frequently visited the Etruscan necropolis of Cerveteri, where she discovered an intimate connection with the timeless nature of the place, inspiring her first miniatures. She passionately collects rare meteorite specimens found in Umbria, continuing her grandfather’s extraordinary collection. After spending two years on the French Riviera, she returned to Italy and began her artistic research drawing on her studies in Molecular Biology. She started painting using contrast agents from the National Research Council (CNR) and accessed the Synchrotron of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (LNFN). Later, visits to planetariums and astronomical observation centers revealed the macro dimension of existence to her.

Among her notable solo and group exhibitions are: TransFormAktion, Kulturhaus III&70, Hamburg (2013); Eau d'Etoile, Aleteia Communication, Rome (2013); Re-Generation, MACRO, Rome (2012); Expanding on the Expansion of the Universe, Galleria Il Segno, Rome (2012); Age of Time. Edge of Space. 12º Rendez-Vous mit Kunst, Berlin (2012); Odysseia, Galerie Mario Iannelli, Berlin (2011); Sorry, We're Open!, London Metropolitan University in partnership with Whitechapel Gallery, London (2010); Chromatème, Auditorium Parco della Musica, Rome (2007); N-Kiloton, 51st Venice Biennale, Venice (2005); Farmacopea, Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome (2003).
