Patty Meotti, an Italian artist, makes her debut to the local art scene in Escale des Iles, Marigot Waterfront, on Friday, April 9, from 6:00 to 9:00pm.

Meotti, born in Milan, on Valentine's Day in 1962, is now living between the French side and Italy. Her desire to express herself with colours started already as a young girl. She followed her passion by going to various art schools, where she learned different techniques like graphic ink, colour pencil, aquarelle, and acrylics.

The artist first stepped in the art world as hyper realistic illustrator using photographs to reproduce the images, especially portraits.

This she continued to do for many years, until she had a grave car accident which changed her life, physically and psychologically. Meotti lost most of the sensitivity in her right hand, causing her to change her style of painting. Now, she does more abstract, follows her passion for Hats of the �poque "La Dolce Vita" of which the greatest part of her collection consists.

"La Dolce Vita" was a period after the Second World War (1950s and 1960s) during which Italy was booming economically, mainly thanks to the "Vespa" scooter and "Fiat 500" car, all made in Italy.

It was during the same period that her father was very successful as doctor in chemical industry. From him, she was left with many photos and memories, which explains her passion with Hats of that time period.

She is a member of the "Art lovers Association" of Saint Martin and now paints acrylics on canvas, as well as trompe l'oeil Murals.
