Biography — Capinera

Portrait of artist Capinera working in the studio

About me

My name is Capinera, and...

after studying in the scientific field, I attended courses in illustration and painting at a workshop in the historic center of Naples.

Today, I am a figurative artist and a drawing and painting teacher deeply attached to traditional mediums, primarily using graphite, acrylic, and oil.

What I do

I draw, paint, and imagine stories, to then paint or draw them.

I produce my own original artwork, but I also accept commissions, whether on paper, canvas, or walls.

I love this art form so much that I design courses to teach others, especially those who vehemently claim they have no talent; if you are one of them, I will prove you wrong by helping you see the world like an artist ☆ (which is the true secret to drawing and painting, though perhaps I shouldn't have given that away).
