Nebiolo Amanda

Amanda Nebiolo was born in Turin in 1973.
Admitted to the Academy of Art in Turin (Italy).  Member of the Italian Artists Federation.
After studying Medicine, She graduated in Communication Studies at the University of Lugano (Switzerland),  where She also took a Master’s degree in Mass Media.
She is a writer, a journalist, and - as professional sommelier - She’s a member of the A.I.S. (Italian Sommelier Association) and Director of Italian Wine Magazine.
Artistically, She expresses herself not only through painting but also as the author of poetry (she has won literary prizes and had her work published in anthologies).
Her first novel, "Il recinto", was published by TraccEdiverse in 2005 and the second one, “Pensieri di una donna qualunque”, was published by Arkesis Sas in 2009.
Among her works are the short films “Talking about Freedom” and “New York. Hopes and scars” (Film Festival of Turin, 2003 and 2008). She has also acted in films and fictions, including “Yellow”, directed by Dario Argento.
Amanda Nebiolo's artistic style uses different techniques for all types of subject – from producing charcoal drawings with chalk and ochre on brown parcel paper to oil painting with metal leaf and spices on canvas. Her paintings portray almost exclusively people: soft, sensual women with intense faces and eyes; elegant men with undefined facial features (dandies inspired by her favourite writer, Oscar Wilde), but also the homeless (examples of human suffering and a catgegory which the artist, a supporter of Amnesty International, cares deeply about).
Her first collective exhibition, in Spain, received favourable critical acclaim. In 2007, the artist showed her drawings and oils in Turin in her first one-woman exhibition.
