Annalisa Ferracci

Artistic background

Annalisa studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples where she graduated in Fine Arts (BA) and Printmaking (MA).
After her studies she worked as a Fine Art Restorer in Italy for several years. That experience was very important because she had the opportunity to work very closely to old masters’ artwork and learn straight from them.
She then started painting in a more traditional way, using skills and techniques learned during the restoration experience.
She then decided to move to London to experience a new and different environment and face new challenges that inspired her latest work.

Her artwork is mainly inspired by her everyday life. She likes to capture the beauty on an ordinary day or life experience and emphasise it. She’s always been very interested in mark-making. She likes to work with textures created by blending and cross-hatching different colours.
In the “Colourscapes” series her work is about analysing London landscapes in the attempt of finding a secret structure and order through the overlaying of colours that create textures and patterns.
Annalisa currently lives and works in Epsom as a professional artist taking commissions and also works as an Art Technician for a school in Ewell.
