About the Artist

Alessia was born in Italy and grew up in Germany, where she studied Industrial Design. She is working as a Product Designer, creating children's toys for a big toy manufacturer. In her Art she finds the perfect balance of very structured, technical designs and full creative freedom. Her first works were inspired by the stunning nature surrounding the busy metropolis Hong Kong, after she relocated to in 2015. Her paintings live from a variety of textures, illustrating the different facets Hong Kong has to offer. Bold blue and green acrylic colours encapsulate the nature of the "fragrant harbour". 

"Painting abstracts gives everyone the freedom to dream themselves into their very own idea of what the picture reveils."

She extended her portfolio with a series of up-cycled works, aiming to draw attention to the importance of mental health as well as protection of the environment by reusing paper bags from mandatory hotel quarantine in Hong Kong. While "#quarantinebutmakeitart" features semi-figurative abstracts, "she blossoms" illustrates the blooming nature in still life like conceptual works.

For her latest projects "all you need is love" she returned to canvasses, illustrating love in all kind of ways, creating an inclusive set and normalising everything off the norm.
