BIOGRAPHY:
She was born at the foot of the Italian Alps in the small town of Ivrea.
Since when Ylenia was little, she has had a significant interest in art. Every spare
moment she had was dedicated to drawing or painting.
During childhood she attended classes with an extraordinary Egyptian painter who specialized
in oil painting. In the following years Ylenia also concentrated on classical studies such as
Ancient Greek, Latin, Philosophy and History of Arts and graduated with a classical
diploma.
During this same time she developed a great passion for dance, acting, and singing.
In March 2011 Ylenia debuted as a solo artist at the International Artexpo, New York. In the
following year she exhibited world-wide in such places as Innsbruck in Austria, London, Italy,
California and again in New York.
She collaborated with the Lali Roberts Gallery in San Francisco and also with the New
York online press "T.S. Every Day Poems". Her paintings have also been featured in
the magazine i-Italy.
Because she believes in helping, encouraging and supporting people, Ylenia supported
and supports different charities and causes, such as the Gift of Life and the Value of a
Smile. She hopes this support will help to improve their life conditions, give them a chance
to develop their full potential and to reach their destiny in their society. As well
Ylenia desires that the creativity inside each person would be set free.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
The colors in my artwork are strong and lively; they are an expression of my joie
de vivre. My paintings are often very close to reality but sometimes they have a touch of
impressionism. The inspiration for my paintings comes from direct observation, photographs,
free creation, life and faith in God. My desire as an artist is to create a deep sense of
peace within my artwork, not influenced by materialism but to share and express the love I
feel within my heart.
