Margherita Giampietri

Born and raised in Italy, I moved to NZ with my family in 1995. The influence of my home country in my work is persistent but with the years I have absorbed lots from my kiwi life too, entwining the two cultures.

My inspiration comes from my emotions, everything I do spawns from the need to express a personal feeling.

I love working with pencils, acrylics and most of all watercolour. This media has always intrigued me for its unpredictability, grace and softness, leaving lots of space to the imagination.

People are often my favourite subjects with their movement and profound feelings.
