BIO:

Alessandra Mercurio, also known as "Sasha".

Born in Benevento in the ‘80 surrounded by artistic inputs, growing up, after several years in London, she arrives in the Eternal City where she decides to combine her two great passions: art and people.

Expert in Communication and Design with an international background and an experience developed in multinational companies, Interior and ExhibitionDesigner, ICF certified LifeCoach and Art-Therapist.

Her artistic soul is the result of her father’s love (whose painting beauty inspired her since she was young) and of her mother’s (who, with her creativity mixed with a practical sense, taught her the true meaning of problem solving).

She means art to help people expressing themselves and rediscover new dimensions, new resources to reach their own goals, whether personal, professional or relational.

A versatile artist dedicated to painting, digital&material art and photography; she took part in several exhibition, including the Inclusive Exhibition managed by Art Forum Würth in Rome in collaboration with Hairam Onlus, at the end of 2018.

As Art Director and Interior&Exhibition Designer has been responsible for the design and setting up of exhibitions and events. In her training experience she collaborated with Art Forum Würth in Rome for the exhibition inaugurated on 16 February 2019 and open to the public until October 2020.

In 2019, 2020 and 2021 she was selected for the "Rome Art Week" receiving a “star” from the team of critics and art historians of RAW. She took part in several group shows, including the exhibitions at the Bauhaus Home Gallery in Rome with the curator Ilaria Giacobbi, with relative certification and quotation of the works.

In 2021 one of his works was published on the Atlas of Contemporary Art, published by De Agostini Edition.
