Gloria Forti

Painter Gloria Forti moved to Tuscany from her native Rome to pursue art, first collaborating with architecture and design studios on her trompe-l'oeil works and "ready-mades". Her in-depth study of traditional techniques and Flemish oil reproductions helped her develop a unique style she expresses using traditional yet experimental methods.
