My name is Giulia Sollai, zodiac sign scales, ascending twins. I was born in Cagliari but I live in Bologna since 2006 where I studied visual arts – painting and I specialized in illustration for publishing at the Academy of Fine Arts. I deal with painting, illustration and design for different sectors: from publishing to fashion, furniture and so on… also collaborating with important companies.
The fact that I move in different sectors makes me feel stimulated and enriched because everything I learn becomes part of my cultural background and serves to grow artistically. In 2014 I realized an art project in the heart of the center of Bologna; it is called “La Casetta dell’artista”. From here I took the name of my instagram profile. This project includes many things: it’s my home-studio of painting; it’s an art gallery exhibiting works by different artists that change every time; it’s a blog; it’s a bed and breakfast; it’s my home; it’s a place where cultural events are held also in collaboration with the most important artistic-cultural festivals in the city of Bologna. At the moment I’m in “work in progress” mode because I’m working behind the scenes to create something bigger, but for now I won’t reveal more!
My ideas are born from the enrichment of my experiences, whether they are work, visual, sensory, etc… and above all from constant exercise. What has a great influence on my art is certainly related to my origins and my childhood.
