Ada Perla was born in Rome in 1960, studied art since high school and graduated in art history. After working as a graphic designer for agencies and theaters, she shared an atelier with Luigia d'Alfonso for many years. In 2014 they started an adventure that led the artistic duo towards a common language: Sabìr. The name chosen by the authors to identify this new artwork refers to the language spoken in the past in the ports across the Mediterranean Sea.

Later on, the Sabìr concept was expanded and enriched with Totems and Ciaccerate. The artistic duo was also selected for several exhibitions and contests and in 2019 Luigia and Ada exhibited at the Rome Art Week with the work "Ciaccerata immaginatopeica" at the Spallazzani Hospital - INML. An art project that involved the patients and staff of the hospital as well as visitors to the exhibition space.

During the 2020 lockdown, Perla rediscovered her artistic individuality, working on a new project for RAW 2021 "The flower room", presented by the GART-Garden Art Cultural Association.
