Laura Pesce was born in the Venetian region of northern Italy. Following her academic studies, she chose the road of experimentation in the arts. Her fascination for science has always been one of her prime motivations. In her works dedicated to art and physics, she combines glass (her signature medium) with paint on canvas, wood or metal, giving, this way, a pictorial-sculptural vision to the abstract concepts of physics. Laura Pesce's works have been exhibited in many galleries and museums in countries around the world, including Brazil,United States,and Europe. She lives and works in Tuscany,Italy.
