Lucia Simone @ Rome Art Week

Lucia Simone was born in Perugia (IT) in 1986, where she began to study art and music.

In 2010, she graduated from the Accademia Di Belle Arti in Rome, where in 2013 she successively completed in painting and direct engraving. In 2009 she composed the original music for the short film “Love Conquers Mountains” by Fernanda Moneta. In 2012 she won a scholarship in painting as assistant to Gianfranco Notargiacomo, who held the teaching post in painting at the Accademia Di Belle Arti in Rome. She was responsible for teaching basic art techniques. Her works are present in the Archive of the Italian Engravers of Bagnacavallo, in the Archive of the Aqui International Biennal for engraving, in the private collection Archanes 6 (Heraklion, Creta, GR), and in the Sixth Repertoire of Italian Engravers. She has won several awards including an artist residence, third Prize of the International FIG Bilbao, she has exhibited in various museums including MACRO La Pelanda (RM - IT), Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art, and prestigious venues such as Palazzo Montecitorio and Palazzo Vecchio for the Premio Firenze. An artist residence at the MACRO (Museo Arte Contemporanea Roma), includes live painting and an exhibition of her works in one of the museum’s ateliers (December 2 - 9, 2019).

In 2021 she exhibited his works exclusively at Iaga Contemporary Art (Romania) with a solo show entitled Signal Lost curated by Chiara Canali.

She has recently been selected as a finalist for the Artkeys prize for the painting section, and for the Arte Laguna Prize for the digital graphics section, whose exhibition will take place in 2023 at the Arsenale in Venice.
