Lucilla Papa: Switzerland/Italy
Lucilla Papa was born in Mendrisio, Switzerland. From an early age, she was fascinated with the world of the Arts and for several years was a student at the Rudolf Steiner School in Lugano, where she found the right atmosphere to explore and develop her passion for art. Majoring in Figurative Arts, in 2004, she obtained her High School Diploma from Liceo Artistico A. Frattini in Varese, Italy. She continued her studies in Milan, wherein 2008, she graduated from NABA with a Bachelor in Set Design under the guidance of Margherita Palli.
In 2008, she designed the XV edition of the Festival Fabbrica Europa in Florence. In 2010, she travelled to Australia and spent several months in Perth, where she
completed a Graduate Diploma in Education at the University of Western Australia. This experience was crucial for her personal, artistic and professional development.
The colours of nature, the endless wide-open spaces and the fragrance of such a distant land rich in contrasts changed her life. She then returned to Switzerland, where she continued exploring and working in both the Arts and Education fields.
