Cor Fafiani creates mysterious, multi-sensorial, perfect and almost metaphysical works of art. He plays with different materials and colours, and yet his art is never a pure aestheticism, but rather a code through which he can communicate his own ideas. He is, in fact, both an artist and a philosopher, and as such, he guesses the most inner selves of human beings, he reaches our onthological essence.

As a self-taught woman, she enjoys discovering and enriching herself with various techniques, always learning.

This new tool opened her to another part of herself and a new evolution in her art.
