About Me
Drawn to contrasts, both in life and art: not as aesthetics, but as condition. Between the austere mountains of Valtellina, the vibrant intensity of Antigua and the silence of Nordic forests, I choose to live inside reality rather than observe it from a distance. Landscape as emotional terrain. Life in its brutal, truthful and heartbreaking beauty. Never quite defined by any of it.
Cin Per was born in a narrow valley framed by the Alps in northern Italy. She studied at the Liceo Artistico, then graphic design at the Istituto Europea di Design in Milan, illustration at CFP Bauer, and figurative art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Macerata.
Art has always been the consistent foundation of her mental health, helping, a way of making sense of human kind, but a nagging feeling that she was living too far from reality to make anything true about it persisted: on a desert island, she would be the first to be eaten.
In 2012012 she left the city and opened her own permaculture : regenerative farm in the Marche hills. Sheep, poultry, veggies, cheese, charcuterie, courses in food processing and permaculture. The studio stayed open alongside it, people coming to watch and engage with work in progress, making art as dialogue before it became exhibition.
In 2016 she trained at Ridgedale regenerative farm, one of the world's leading permaculture farms, buried between Swedish forests and lakes. There she learned to read land, feed communities, and noticed uncomfortably that even the most well-intentioned regenerative spaces reproduced the same hierarchies they claimed to resist.
Needing to see the other side of that contradiction with her own eyes, she moved to Antigua. She ran her own eco-hotel for three years, wrestling with the contradiction between tourism and her desire to make the world a better place, filling spaces with her artworks. Later she worked on a farm: milking cows, making cheese from scratch, butchering… all while watching the fracture between good intentions and persistent injustice play out up close, tragically.
Art never left. It ran parallel, underground, accumulating power and quietly fighting the loud need to spread the knowledge about this constant injustice, this pain… maturity arrived quietly: the realization that the life she is living is the work. In 2026 she debuted publicly with Late Night Tales, a touring solo exhibition across northern Italy and Tuscany.
The work travels… and won’t stop.
