Federica Aiello Pini (b. 1980) is an Italian multidisciplinary artist whose work spans fine arts, illustration, and socially engaged projects. With a background in Fine Arts from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Bologna and Illustration studies in Florence, she further specialized in paper art through a Masterclass at the Venice Biennale. Her artistic practice includes live performances, installations, mixed media and collage works.
Federica's years living in Panama deeply influenced her work, as the lush forests and vibrant colors left a lasting impact. This creative evolution continued in Portugal, where the powerful energy of the ocean enriched her creative universe. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, with pieces held in private and institutional collections, including the Portuguese Embassies in Panama and Oslo.
She has developed art workshops centreed on well-being, collaborating with institutions like Fondazione Palazzo Te and healthcare settings such as Poma Hospital in Mantua. Currently a Global Arts in Medicine fellow, Federica curates the Arts & Creativity for Displacement project for the TAMASHA Festival. As a UN Online Volunteer, she also contributes to Simuka Africa, promoting the transformative power of art in communities worldwide.
