‘Alice, are you among us?’
the aunt still repeat today, snatching her by the umpteenth surreal journey.

I’m Letizia aka Laenoir, I’ve two looong surnames and a perpetually engrossed mind that alternates moments of hyperactivity to moments of idleness, not intended as the mother of all vices, but like otium litteratum: a wise solitude reserved for study, reflection and contemplation.

I was born in Italy in the early nineties in a summer solstice, gemini by a hair’s breadth, and I live and work near the historic Pompeii. Even as a child I showed a propensity for the visual arts, sometimes leaving a murals too much on the house walls. I didn’t even have 10 years when I started to sketch thriller comics and write a little script with the intent to produce and direct a short film with my little friends.

Even though I chose a scientific high school, I spent my afternoons between movies and graphic exercises.I developed a passion for photography learning the basics independently and making the web my teacher and my jury: to improve, I submitted my work to the judgment of professionals in different forums. Even among the desks I reveal my true passion dealing with the graphic part of a non profit business project, managing the Visual Communication laboratories in the self-managed weeks of the students and creating the covers for the student newspaper.

For my professional training I choose the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples: from 2010 to 2014 I attend a course dedicated to new media where I worked on several projects with the Mediaintegrati lab. In 2013 I took part in the Erasmus Program and I spent six months in Spain studying at the Universitat Politècnica de València, a great experience for my technical and human background.

In 2014 I obtain a bachelor’s degree in New Technologies of Art with an evaluation of 110/110 and after a few months I’m beside Italo Sannino (Adobe Guru) as a teaching assistant for the chair of Web Design.

I continues my career as a freelance graphic designer and working as a photographer of events for different organizations (which include also Tilllate). However, I don’t waive my favorite branch: reportage photography, thus I continue my path at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, obtaining a Master’s degree in Photojournalism with full marks towards the end of 2018.

I exhibited my shots in several exhibitions both personal and collective and in the meantime updates my audience through Instagram, a fanpage on Facebook, Linkedin, Flickr, etc.

Today I continue to study what I loves, focus on details, chase the white rabbit, collect new music, watch too many movies and TV series, travel as much as possible, let myself be fascinated by people and I put my ideas at stake. Despite everything, I’m not hurry to feel too grown up because – borrowing the words from others – argue that:

‘The creative adult is the child who survived’
