Giannalisa Digiacomo: Listening to Nature Through Painting

In a conversation with Segno Online, Giannalisa Digiacomo, an Italian artist, shares insights into her artistic path and her bond with nature. Her journey began when her father introduced her to a box of oil paints and encouraged her to follow her aspirations. She decided against attending the Istituto Centrale del Restauro (ICR) and instead trained in Modica, Perugia, and under Ettore Maiotti in Milan, where she focused on 'learning to see.' Currently, Digiacomo teaches at the Scuola Superiore d'Arte Applicata del Castello Sforzesco in Milan, cherishing the opportunity to impart traditional skills. Her artwork predominantly features landscapes, especially those of the Sicilian countryside and Lombardy plain, as she prepares for a solo exhibition in Ragusa and creates a series of tree paintings inspired by the Fibonacci sequence.
