Carla was born in Milan on 2nd of September in 1949. She attended Italian Secondary school and ISEF (an Institute to become a gym teacher).

While she was teaching in high middle school, she found out the real passion of her : drawing.


So she spent an year of feverish activity at Artefici di Brera, a night school, and on summer, the Lithography Course at Palazzo Ducale in Urbino and,the next summer, the Artistic Nude Course at the Salzburg Castle in Austria, when she discovered the treasure that she has created by her study of humanbody.

She drew at all times and everywhere! The events in her life have led her here in Reggio Emilia, where she live and work at present, to get near to land (she lived in the country for some years)and , maybe,to her root (her father was born here).

These conditions forced her to leave the drawing, because of lack of space, and to lose herself in quite different experiences. She resumed drawing long after and this time ‘lack of space’ turned her to digital art : an universe so amazing , incredible and wide that it fascinates and charms her totally. The digital photo editing manifests its full power in collage, that is one of her favourite technique : photos, from here and there, let her enjoy to create unrealistic events by deleting all the edges in time and space or to draw attention to problems that acquire a particular bite by direct neighbourhood.


Anyway, broadly speaking,keyword now is ‘research’ because different softwares (she speak about graphic programs) allow experiences without restrictions…and so ‘research’ is able to go with her all her life long and coerces her into a continous change.
