who is benica ?

my name is norsica elvira bentivegna, and I was born on May 22, 1999, in Germany. as the child of italian—more precisely sicilian—parents, I was introduced to the "dolce vita" early on.

since my childhood, I have been interested in art. this passion started with a few colored pencils, and over the years, I have increasingly focused on oil and acrylic paints. since 2024, I have also been working on some crochet projects.

nowadays, I try to connect my mediterranean roots with painting in order to share my story with the world.

fun fact: the name is an abbreviation of "bentivegna" and "norsica".
