Madonna Benois by Leonardo Da Vinci

She was born in Rome in 1971. She graduated from a secondary school specializing in classical studies (Liceo Classico) and later attended the Faculty of Law. During this period, she attended a famous workshop in Rome to study the micro-mosaic technique. Having fallen in love with this ancient art, she left her university studies to devote herself completely to mosaic art, which she has been practicing for more than twenty years. Today, she is considered among the best micro-mosaicists. Elena Lo Presti's works can be found in many important private collections.
