upcoming January 12th, 2012
Debora Fede, born in Roma, Italy (1965), received her art degree from the "Liceo Artistic" in Rome and finished painting studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Rome. Her studies also included restoration work and architectural design.
Since then she has participated in numerous individual and collective expositions in: Italy, Germany, Spain, Turkey, USA and many more. Debora has also shared her artistic work teaching as an art lecturer for the "Liceo Artistic" in Rome and Istanbul for 18 years.
Her work has been reviewed by such relevant critics, journalist and artists as: Achille Pace, G.P. Berto, Iolena Baldini, Sandro Trotti, José Romera Diaz, Begonia Rentero, etc.
