An ode to one of the ICONS that inspires me.
Fashion icon, African adventurer, Eccentric Artsit and dreamy grandmother. My nonna Francesca Romana was one interesting human being.
She gave me an example of what it means to be an artist. To see life through magical tinted glasses and find fairy tales everywhere. A life of poetry, of art and of beauty. And then I got see all these gifts through my fierce mama as well. What a feminine lineage ❤️🔥
She lived such a whimsical life with my grandfather as the adventured Africa for his architectural projects. My mother was born in Sudan spent her childhood there. Later they moved to Barcelona to be closer to the surrealists and their last years in Tanger, Morocco.
Being with them was always so magical. Their houses were filled with stories and curiosity from all over the world in every corner. They were eccentrics , artists that loved life exactly how they creativity guided them too. I am so lucky to have experienced life with them and have had such example of artists.
She is guardian angel. Guiding me every step of the way to continue this legacy of ART. 🖼️
Ti amo Nonna 🪽
