Born in Naples, Italy, Bianca De Maio currently resides and works in London, United Kingdom. Here's what she herself says about herself: "Although I have always considered myself as a painter, my artistic practice is based on experimentation in multiple fields and on the combination of different techniques. This is one of the reasons why the materials has always had a strong influence on my language. I always have had an intimate relationship with the beginnings which are able to give me a sense of accomplishment. My work in general is based on an empathy for the natural world, and, whatever technique I use, I could tell that what I do in my practice is basically an interpretation of reflections about the life around me."
