BIOGRAPHY
Serena Colombo was born in Rome in 1962 and left
Italy, along with her brother, at the age of 8 and
moved to Brussels where her mother had been relocated
for work. There she attended European School until
she graduated with a high school diploma.
In 1980, she returned to Italy to attend university,
enrolling in the Faculty of Philosophy, followed
by the Faculty of Languages.
In 1987, she returned to Belgium, to attend painting
courses at Van der Kelen-Logelain Institute, specialising
in teaching Trope-l’oeil, marble and wood
imitation techniques. After completing the course
she started to work in the field of decorative painting.
In 1992, she enrolled in the Academic of Fine Arts
of Saint-Gilles (Brussels) attending a nude design
course with Professor Patrik Pouillard until 1996.
In 1996 she left for Brazil, a country which she
found herself surrounded by painters and started
to dedicate herself full-time to artistic painting.
After this experience she returned to Brussels in
1997 and decided to move away from decoration, to
dedicate her time to canvas painting.
She then joined Atelier Las Meninas in Brussels.
In the same year, she again enrols in the Academy
of Fine Arts, this time attending a nude painting
course, and worked with the late Professor Jacques
Baurain, whose teaching, although limited, will
be a deciding factor in her artistic education.
In 1999, she leaves Atelier Las Meninas and joins
the Acea group in Barcellona.
For some years, she continues to attend various
academies in Italy and Belgium.
Today she works in an atelier which she shares with
another painter, in the heart of a medieval town
in Italy. |
