Hi and welcome to my site! I am Mary Cinque, an Italian painter, graphic designer and blogger working and living in wonderful Amalfi Coast. My works – joyful, bright, colourful painting and drawing – are definitely inspired by this place, as well as my heritage and my travels.
In fact, I spent my childhood among Italy and Ethiopia, and I lived in different vibrant and effervescent towns such as Naples and Milan, where I attended Fine Art academies, Philadelphia, New York and London where I improved my artistic skills and style.
I am really intrigued by everyday beauty and attractiveness, so in making my art I celebrate the little joys of everyday life such us a supper with family and friends, a stroll through markets, a book or a cup of tea, good design or relations between people and architectures.
Alongside making art, I work as illustrator and graphic designer too, collaborating with select brands, working on artistic commissions such as illustrations, labels and showroom design.
