Alice Pasquini is a street artist renown for her work with the female face and figure. Alice is based out of Rome, Italy. The artist attended the Academy of Fine Art located in Rome.

Alice Pasquini was born in the year 1980.

 

I find the work of Alice to be similar to Swoon. Pasquini is very successful as a commercial artist and some clients include Microsoft, Nike, and Toyota.

Below we follow the artist as she works on a piece in Rome, Italy:

In her work Alice strives to capture quiet moments of our daily lives. When she portrays the female figure its seen as a strong independent figure, not as a sex symbol.
