Nella was born, raised, and educated in Italy, and is part of a family with a long heritage of visual artists, musicians, and poets. Her family history and her life near the Adriatic Sea is what shaped her artistic career. She studied art history and foreign languages. She is a full time artist and works on several canvases at once developing the imagery through a process of surface changes.
Her art is a constant exploration of the relationship between man and its history, and becomes a spiritual and intimate journey. With intuition, experience, and never following a formula, she brings together the alchemy of materials, classical forms, and the appearance of centuries of aging in all of her paintings, whether it is a marine, a fresco, a floral, a figurative, or even one of her abstract works. She works in series, mainly with oils and uses cold wax as a medium often adding marble dust to create more texture and depth.
