Renata Solimini has been passionate about painting and drawing since childhood. During the academic years 1992-1993 in China (Nanjing Normal University), she studied the basics of traditional painting and calligraphy with masters Yang Haocheng and Zhou Yufeng. During that time she started her first paintings inspired by Chinese ancient pictograms.

She graduated with a thesis on ancient writings (Chinese, Egyptian hieroglyphic and Sumerian cuneiform) in 1995. These studies have significantly influenced her artistic inspiration.

Over the past few years, besides the abstract artworks and a personal style of asemic writing, her artistic interest has been mainly focused on the Eye, on the theme of the Fish and the Sea World as ancestral symbols of the origin of life, and the Woman. The media she uses, often in association, are acrylics, oils, tempera, inks, markers and collage on canvas, cardboard and paper. Part of her activity is also dedicated to the exchange and sending of Mail Art within national and international calls and participating in mail art shows all over the world. She has been exhibiting her paintings in Italy, China, Russia and United States.
