The Art of OLIVIA FUNGHINI -Hoboken ART TOUR The Monroe Bar  October 19th                                                

 Jersey City Artisit Olivia Funghini was born in  Macau, China to a Portuguese father and a Chinese  mother which makes her Macanese.  Her passion to paint and draw evolved at a very young age with the influence of graffiti. ” I can remember using my mother’s coal eye pencil to draw on brown paper bags. I still use some of these materials today in my art work. In my painting entitled “Freedom” I used brown ripped up brown paper bags and markers to create the collage painting.

I see the world in intense colors and shapes and try to capture what I envision in my art.”
