During her studies, Margherita begins to get recognition, winning Wacom’s lockdown contest in 2020. In the same year, her project “Relatable Chaos” is awarded the third prize in the student’s category of Annual Autori di Immagini, association which rewards her again in 2021 with “Phobias” and in 2022 with her illustration “Inclusion”.

Margherita’s world is oneiric and suspended, yet bizarre and ironic. She lets herself be carried away by the imagery of Surrealism, creating pop yet elegant illustrations. Margherita loves leaving traces of herself in her artwork, making every piece personal and autobiographic.
