Born in Verona in 1979, she moved to Ireland at twenty where she began to develop her passion for landscape photography. She returned to Italy after two years and specializes in black and white photography. In 2006 she started her collaboration with the painter Massimo Nidini blending the two media and creating their photopainting works. They have exhibited their works in many Italian and foreign art galleries often in collaboration with the local Italian Cultural Institutes, Singapore, New York, Cologne, Vienna, London, European Parliament, taking part in international art and design fairs, New York Expo, Art Singapore Fair, Innsbruck Art Fair, Dubai Index Fair, The Affordable Art Fair London, BAAF Bruxelles. Their last project “Dreaming Crystals on Duisburg” have been selected by “The Third Eye” Commission to be exposed at the Unesco Zollverein Heritage Site in Essen, European Culture Capital 2010 for the Ruhr. In 2009 the collaboration with Prof. Carlo Pelanda marks the beginning of a new artistic path. "Italia verticale", a work created for the cover of his latest book "Formula Italia" and symbol of the exhibition "Dynamic Cities", hosted at the Italian Cultural Institute in London in March 2010, creates a new way of seeing, photographing and "build" her new cities: the journey is originated by the overlapping of cities in motion, modern and ancient out of focus architectures merged together, cities that melt together in search of a new identity. The project continues with a vertical futuristic vision, symbol of new evolution, innovation, speed, like a hidden desire of proudly rebuilding our future; it is the interpretation of verticality as an architectural and conceptual elevation. In May 2011, her partner Massimo Nidini dies. This marks the beginning of her new artistic research on Giovanni Battista Piranesi, interpreter of Roman architecture of the 18th century. Her works are digital and painted elaborations inspired by Piranesi's Roman ruins. These elements of architecture reproduce open red mouths that can be regarded as bearing an allegorical meaning of "talking ancient ruins". Mouths have different meanings to her. They can be the symbolic representation of strenght, an inner part of Lisa's personality that needs to be expressed in a new and different way of thinking: art can develop infinitely by adding new inventions and accumulating different traditions. According to Sigmund Freud, mouth represents a sexual symbol. She is also now working on selfportraits, as a research of the deepest soul, and on the interaction of intellectual meditation and bodily language.
