Artist Biography

Vera Di Bianca began her artistic training in the very prestigious Artistic High School located in Via Ripetta where she was a student of the teacher and artist of the Italian pop-art movement Cesare Tacchi. The teacher immediately became a referent in artistic matters and helped her in her creative journey.

During this period when she was pushed towards autonomy and towards the search for a personal artistic identity, she directed her gaze towards painting and costume; In accordance with her choices as a teenager and the studies pursued at the Academy of Fine Arts, she is interested not only in painting but also in visual art and crafts.

In 2005 she trained in weaving and followed Marcella Polloni's courses and goldsmith's courses directed by Carla Yanez in Santiago de Chile where Vera specialized in these techniques also having as an interest the study of the Mapuche civilization, Amerindian inhabitants originally from central and southern Chile. Also in 2005 she made drawings of this tribe and organized an exhibition entitled; “La mirada inquieta” in the premises of the Catholic University of Santiago de Chile thanks to the interest shown by its work on the part of the photographer and historian of photography Mr. Juan Domingo Marinello Kairath. This meeting with the Mapuche people and the exhibition that will follow are an interesting experience from both an anthropological and pictorial point of view.

In parallel with these studies, she continued painting now rich in bright colors, the same that she used in fabrics. Weft and brushstroke, wool and acrylic, two apparently distant worlds but Vera Di Bianca manages to match them with her own process based on the harmonization of colors. Photography is for her the essential tool that allows her to explore reality and to marry the suggestions that led her to love weaving, drawing, color according to the inspiration that is at the service of several forms of art. that intermingle.
