Susanna Cati
Born in Rieti, has been living and working as an artist in Perugia for many years now.
Her unique and personal artistic path is marked by a quest for constant enrichment which, paired with her experience, contributes to a continuous cultural growth in her design. After finishing her Classical Studies, she graduated from the Academy of Costume and Fashion in Rome. Immediately after, she gained experience in the field of fashion, while further developing her interest and knowledge of oil painting and portrait techniques.
In particular, Susanna’s collaboration with stage designer Giovanni Licheri during the preparation of theatrical sets for Teatro Argentina in Rome, as well as her experience as a fashion designer’s assistant for freelance designers and important Italian and French fashion houses, contributed to enriching her skills and reinforcing her textile creativity. In the following years, Susanna found inspiration and realized her concepts through the medium of rugs and tapestry.
Made from her drawings, these unique pieces are crafted with the tufting technique or with more conventional techniques supported by the help of expert collaborators. Since 1996, she has been designing and producing carpets and textile surfaces, as well as creating interior design accessories.
These one-of-a-kind pieces are rigorously made with natural materials and designed with an endless variation of colors that reaffirm links and patterns born from the same creative material. Susanna has attended numerous exhibitions in which she received major awards from specialized magazines.
In addition to her work in rugs and textiles, she also works as an ” out-of-the-ordinary ” painter.
