My names is Vanila Di Vanna and I was born on 13/07/1980 in Voghera (Pavia, Italy). During my life I have lived in several Italian cities, in France and in Switzerland but Milan is the place where I lived more years. I have always loved expressing myself throught art but by choice of my parent I could not follow artistic studies and in protest I changed three different school addresses. In 2009 I enrolled at the academy of fine art of Brera in Milan but for work reasons I finisched my studies and went on with a self-taught path. I worked for many years as a model, created a fashion line and two years ago I enrolled at the Mohole academy in Milan, graduating as a photographer. I could distinguish my pictorial growth in four phases. One of various experimentation. The second focused on the mastery of the technique in which I produced black and white portraits. The third, multicolor and free from schemes and with unconscious and emotional imprint . These painting were inspired by quantum physics studies and Rorschach tables. The fourth, where I find my authenticity and balange by bringing together the previous phases. I wanted to create imagined portraits throught the decomposition/composition cubic with the aim of representing the current human condition.
