'Dew of Life' is an affectionate portrait of the 97-year-old painter Maria Picardi Coliac, affectionately called Mimma by her intimate few.
Maria Picardi Coliac was born in Barletta in 1926, the daughter of Vincenzo and Anna Scotti. From childhood she showed a marked inclination for art, encouraged by her father, a skilled draughtsman. At the age of eight, she was entrusted to the care of the painter Vincenzo De Stefano, whose studio became a fundamental training ground for her until the master's death in 1942. Despite her excellence in the arts, she also took on other challenges, attending grammar school and classical high school, and experimenting with various activities such as sports, music, embroidery and poetry.

After the death of her teacher, Maria Picardi Coliac immersed herself completely in the world of art, attending further painting studies in Barletta and later enrolling at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and Naples. Despite the pressures of family and society, she continued on her artistic path. In 1951, she married Leopoldo Coliac and had two daughters, continuing to paint and study art.

In the following years, Maria Picardi Coliac distinguished herself as a painter, participating in numerous exhibitions and winning important prizes and awards. She became a member of various artistic and cultural institutions, dedicating part of her works and energy to humanitarian and social causes. His artistic career is characterised by a wide range of techniques and styles, but oil remains his favourite.

Over the years, Maria Picardi Coliac has continued to be a prominent figure on the art scene, exhibiting in important national and foreign museums and receiving prestigious awards.
