Riccarda de Eccher
8. Salon proudly presents the wonderful art of the italian artist Riccarda de Eccher, it will be her very first exhibition in Germany.
Riccarda de Eccher (1954) was born in Bolzano, but at the age of ten, her family moved to Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Her nostalgia for the mountains led her, at eighteen, to enroll in a rock climbing course, where she began exploring her beloved Dolomites.
For a decade, she dedicated herself to climbing, repeating rock routes up to the sixth degree of difficulty, opening new routes, and participating in expeditions outside Europe.
In her later years, she turned to painting, using watercolor techniques and choosing mountains as her primary subject.
In 2006, she held her first exhibition in Cortina d’Ampezzo. This was followed by various exhibitions in Europe (Italy, France, England, Slovenia) and the United States. She has also published small books resulting from collaborations with writers. She divides her time between Italy and the United States.
