MARZIA
Multi-material artist, lover of the sea and nature, stubborn and obsessed with sustainability. I was born and raised in Bassano del Grappa at the foot of Monte Grappa, but having always felt like a siren, I left the north east to move to the south east in Puglia to chase the dream of theater and art experiences with children. I am a set designer with a degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice and I have always loved transforming people, animals and environments into finger puppets, glove puppets, shadow theater silhouettes, string and stick puppets. I currently live in Ostuni surrounded by wild nature, four cats and my partner Felice, a self-taught herbosopher, passionate about spontaneous herbs.
MAFALDA
Dreamer, curious, idealistic, romantic and too stubborn. I am originally from Campania, with a professional background in the hotel tourism sector in Italy and abroad, I like foreign languages, the sea and pizza. Mother of two twins and after various experiences and many removals I decided to move to Puglia with my family where I live in the countryside between the cool and sunny days surrounded by pure and wild nature with two cats, two dogs and a pastry chef husband.
MARZIA+MAFALDA
We met in the South, in Valle d'Itria, in the kids art area of a summer event and since that day we have organized and done together many art and theater workshops, readings of illustrated books, to then dedicate ourselves completely to botanical prints, after attending a course in Lecce discovered by chance in a poster hanging near a traffic light.
We made the first prints of leaves and flowers on paper, but already on the way back home we wanted to experiment with the technique also on fabric, in recent years we have learned, dared, wrong to sometimes we got a little confused, but never lost because we always follow the compass of the beauty of nature.
