Michela Picchi is an Italian cross-disciplinary artist, born on August 5, 1987 in Rome, and now based in Berlin. Living in Honk Kong, after her second degree in graphic design, allowed her to explore, experiment and develop her own and distinctive style. With a remarkable color palette, her artworks dive into pop, surrealism and jungle themes, giving her works an intense vibrant and pop twist, also seen in several public and private murals she made in the last years. Michela has exhibited her work in solo and group shows including; "There’s A Good Girl" at Saatchi&Saatchi London, her latest solo show in Milan "Tigre contro Tigre" at Martina’s Gallery, and several Art Fairs. She recently had her first TEDxTalk in Taipei about “Changing life career and being a multidisciplinary artist”. She developed and created original artworks for clients such as: Adidas Worldwide, Converse, Fendi, Pull&Bear Worldwide, Nike Italy, Ted Talks, among others.

Michela is currently the Creative Fusion Fellow hosted by Spaces Gallery. While in Cleveland, Michela will paint a mural on the facade of a building located in the Hingetown neighborhood.
