Francesca Grosso- Visual artist, painter, illustrator, flutist and teacher.
Creator of the Artistic-Social Calligram. Graduated with full marks in Transverse Flute at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome and perfected in musical studies, she graduated in Performing Arts and Sciences at La Sapienza University, with a thesis in Ethnomusicology dedicated to the sound landscape of the city of Rome, graphically elaborating informal scores and treating the sounds / noises of the city like a symphony orchestra. Always looking for a form of artistic language that knows how to implement the still unexpressed potential of communication, he studies and experiments, in visual art as well as in musical activity and teaching, forms of synesthetic union. The preferred techniques are nibs and ink for writing works, watercolor and oil for pictorial creations, as well as experimentation with digital tools in video-art.
