Barbara Pecorari is a contemporary Italian artist who has always had a strong affinity with bright colors and matter. She was born in 1973.

Her first contact with arts happened when she was a child, while she was looking at a big painting of two roosters fighting. The picture was in her grandmother’s house, and it was inspired by a work of Antonio Ligabue. The energy of the movement and the bright colors of it touched her.

Since her first scholastic studies, she stood out for the details of her pastel and tempera drawings, and her professors directed her towards an art school.

She attended the art school Gaetano Chierici, but some family problems forced her to drop out the studies and start working. However, this did not prevent her from drawing self-taught.

After some years, she found again the energy and the inspiration after attending an exhibition of Alfonso Borghi.The force of matter and the energy of color inspired her to start painting on canvas.

Her first works, in addition to not satisfying her, they did not have that corporal relief she was striving for. Consequently, she started experimenting with stucco of putty furrowing it with dried brushes and tools, using brushstrokes of color separated from each other.

The subject she prefers painting are the landscape she sees around her, the countryside where she played when she was a child, mild hills, and solitary trees.

From here arise two painting collections on big canvas and photographic catalogues named “The Sky’s Roots”, “The Journey”  with the collaboration of writers, poets, and photographers of the territory, where the artist appears close to her painting as a narrative entity.

She became part of the Association Parmese Artisti where she exhibited with her role model Alfoso Borghi and where she experimented various techniques of painting such as futurism, abstractionism, portrait, and surrealism.

During a journey, she was later impressed by the silvery fish stock that were jumping outside the water trying to escape from predators. This memory inspired her to create a characteristic drawing of material fishes that fit together to create an infinite mosaic.

She later experimented an overlapping technique of silvery fishes’ stickers on plexiglass, in order to create a 3D movement, with an intense blue background named “Acquarius Sardines”.

In 2010 she exhibited a sculpture shaped like a kite for the exhibition “Human Rights” in Rovereto, which was acclaimed positively by the public.

She was contacted by important critics of arts such as Vittorio Sgarbi with whom she participates at Biennale di Palermo in 2013, where she donated her work “The cup of Sardines” on plexiglass.

From 2014 to 2015 she taught arts to students at the elementary school Matilde di Canossa in Reggio Emilia, of which she has fond memories

A particular sculpture of heeled shoes, realized with barbed wire, named “Fashion Victim” (photo) is highly acclaimed by the public.

In 2009 she became part of the Association Artist La Marguttiana in Forte dei Marmi, where she is still attending from July to September. She also collaborates with the museum Milt in Torino and the Association Italia Arte. In 2020 she was chosen by Aurela Cuku to participate at the event “Emirates Art Connection 2020” at the Fahidi Historical Neighborhood in Dubai alongside the Ministry of Culture and the participation of the royal family, particularly with Mohammed Mejeren Bin Mohammen Al Sheikh, to whom she gifted her work named Mosaic of Sardined.
