Fine Art Projects by Italian Contemporary Artist.

Paintings, Drawings and Digital Art combined to explore and create a unique interpretation of reality.

On these virtual pages I will keep a record of my projects.

Ideas may change and evolve into something totally different.

The mental process is a process of free association,

the aim is to understand my own significance following instinctive "dimensioning" of thoughts.

A. Alenia Laguardia

 

I am an independent creator based in England where, for 20 years, I have been running my own business specializing in handcrafted goods alongside being a musical instrument technician. 

​

More about me...

I was born in Italy, where I received the foundations of my artistic education, strongly influenced by classical art. I do not have a favorite visual artist I particularly inspire. I am fascinated by esoteric and magical traditions; I like mythology, psychology, and science. 

At the age of 20, I decided to pursue my artistic career in the United Kingdom. Here, four years later, I became a part-time Fine Art student, achieving my degree two years later with extra modules in business and academic language.

That'll be all! 

Thank you for stopping by.
