Artist Rachele Del Nevo

On Friday we came across Rachele Del Nevo, an artist who draws on cardboard from recycled cartons. Her drawings have a Roman flavour and she uses the designs/printing on the cardboard to influence her work.  Some are thought provoking. I really love her drawings  and we've bought a few. I'd love a wall full of them.

Rachele takes her work with her on her bike. She has a blog :

Rachele De Nevo and a recently sold drawing of the Fontana di Trevi -if only it could have fitted in one of our suitcases :(

 Make sure that you check out her blog which has some examples of her work. If you are in Rome you can see Rachele with her bike and some of her current work at the Tazza d'Oro end of Piazza della Rotonda - home of the Pantheon. As well as larger pieces, she has some smaller ones which are perfect for gifts for friends as souvenirs of Rome. Much better than the mountain of plastic souvenirs in shops all around the Pantheon.

Piazza della Rotonda

The evening light is beautiful in Rome in autumn, a different blue from Australian evening skies. The Pantheon and Piazza della Rotonda are always magical at night -even with tourists buzzing around.
