Alice Schivardi was born in Erba (CO) in the 1976. She attended the artist Alberto Garutti’s course at Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, graduating with a thesis on Louise Bourgeois. She later collaborated with some directors and cinematographers in the theatrical and cinematographic fields, developing within herself a strong narrative vision that she would later develop in his work. The association with various artists will allow her to study in deep drawing as a method of investigation together with continuous experimentation with materials and a multitude of experiences both in the working, human and social fields.
After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts, she moved to Rome. She has participated in different awards including the Cairo Prize at Palazzo Reale in Milan, the Maretti Prize, the PAN Museum in Naples and won the 16th edition of the first “Videominuto” prize at the Pecci Museum in Prato.
