ABOUT ME

Baby Chiara
Welcome in the about me section.

This is a portfolio dedicated to the "Cat Portrait Project", but I like to experiment with different forms of art.

Born in Livorno (Italy, 1983), I had the chance to grow up in an artsy family because my father is Maestro Luciano Torsi, a  professional painter.

I began painting as a child, learning oils, acrylics, watercolor, pen and ink, pastels, directly in my father's art studio.  I sold my first painting at age ten.

I graduated in experimental psychology at the Florence University,
I published an essay book (currently on sale) about artificial intelligence and affective computing ("Emozioni Umane e Affective Computing: 3 Studi Sperimentali", 4 april 2017) but I never stop making art.

On September 13, 2018, after a really bad time of my life, art saves me: I founded the "Paper Cat Lab" online store all on my own, and I started to sell digital hand-drawn illustrations at first, and then I launched the Cat Portraits Projects in the December 2018.

Behind every Cat-work: I write the production date, the city where I am in that moment, my signature, the Cat name and the number of the painting. So, you can collect all. They are unique pieces and I do not replicas, I don't do the same cat twice​.

 My goal is a cat invasion all around the world. Actually, my cats are in private collections in North Carolina, New York (state), Pisa and Rome.
