Portraits beatrice alemagna biography

I was born in Bologna, Italy, in 1973.
When I was a child my biggest heros were Pippi Longstocking, Marcovaldo, Karlsson on the roof, Silvester and Meffi.
At eight I decided that, whatever the cost, once grown up I would become a "painter and writer of novels".
Nowadays I’m making books.

For children, for adults, for whoever wants.
I paint, I sculpt, I search.
I have two little girls and I live near Paris.
