Gianinna Delpino
Gianinna Delpino has been doing art since she was introduced to pencils as a child.
When it was time to choose a career to study, she chose architecture and not art, as she wanted to keep that pure and very personal approach to things without being told what to do or how to do it. In architecture she learned about space and perspective but kept on painting and drawing completely self taught and from there. She encourages her students to find their own voice. Four years ago she came to London from Chile without knowing anybody to explore her artistic side fully. She has done freelance work for clients like Southwark Council in London, Clark's, Bermondsey Art trail, Arthouse1 gallery and private and personal projects like record covers and illustrated books. She works as a full time drawer, painter and a writer, with explorations in music and performance. Courses Begin 2 Draw Gianinna's web site: www.gianinnadelpino.com
