Giusy Rampini was born in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy, in 1973.
Her deep passion for animals and nature has profoundly influenced her art, with a fascination for animals born among the breathtaking landscapes of her hometown.
Animals have remained her favorite subjects to this day.
Giusy’s artistic journey began at the Art Institute, where she first trained as a fashion designer before turning to fine arts under the guidance of the renowned painter Adriano Grasso Caprioli, perfecting her skills in oil, tempera, and fresco techniques.
Her dedication to artistic growth then led her to study engraving at the prestigious IL BISONTE international school in Florence and sculpture at the Santa Giulia Academy of Fine Arts in Brescia.
Giusy’s art now focuses primarily on African wildlife, depicting animals with attention to both physical beauty and emotional depth. Her approach combines direct field experience, observational sketches, and photographic studies, adding a level of authenticity to every portrait.
Using a limited palette of earthy tones, she emphasizes the textures and movements of her subjects, often isolating them on the canvas to allow the viewer a deep connection with the animal’s spirit.
This minimalist approach creates a contemplative calm that highlights the energy and individuality of each animal.
