**Giorgia Oldano** (Italy, born 1984) is graduated in Painting at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin. The gifted artist and naturalist, Giorgia Oldano, continues to explore her favorite theme: the Wildlife. Alongside her already consolidated and prize-winning graphite drawings, she has added monotype printmaking, the only printmaking technique which intends to produce a single, unique artwork. Giorgia’s approach in monotype is unusual, given her method of building her images by printing over them multiple times, allowing her to create foregrounds, middle grounds and backgrounds. The materials she uses are leaves, feathers, pieces of cloth and different fabrics, all chosen for the marks and textures they leave on the paper. The impressions of their veins, weft, shafts, fluff become a means of expression and provide decorative detail. Her subjects are animals and plants and their stories are told by inking these materials and impressing them on paper. Nature and its elements provide the motif and the means for her to tell stories, many taken from the world of literature. She has a preference for those authors who use metaphors of nature to tell tales of and to explore the human soul. Among those authors who have inspired her the most are Henry David Thoreau, Alberto Moravia, Hermann Hesse, Rudyard Kipling. In Milan (Italy) she teaches etching and printmaking at the Fondazione Federica Galli and in 2024 she opened her street laboratory "LA TANA Art Studio”. Some of the various prizes she been awarded are: first prize in the competition Oasis, Disegna la Natura 2012; the International Artist BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year 2013 prize; first prize in the competition, Be Natural / Be Wild, Selvatica Arte e Natura in Festival, Biella. Since 2013, she has been selected to participate in the annual exhibition, Birds in Art, (Wisconsin, USA), as the only Italian artist.
