Marzia Trinca was born in Rome on 2 January 1962, a city where she has always lived. She graduated in Architecture at La Sapienza University in Rome with a thesis entitled "Assetto del Paesaggio". In the same years in which she studied at the university, she became interested in botany since she loved plants and flowers since she was a child. For more than ten years she is a member of the "Giardino Romano" Association which allows her to deepen and expand the recognition of plant species thanks to numerous botanical trips to Italy and abroad.

During these trips she has the opportunity to visit numerous and exclusive private and non-private gardens. His interest in plants and flowers also transferred him to the professional field, devoting himself to the design of the green of terraces and gardens, and, for the interiors, to the design and manufacture of fabric artifacts. In 2002, she was forced to abandon her professional activity because she was struck by Parkinson's disease, which severely penalized her on the motor level and caused her to shiver located on the left side of the body.

This is an important detail, being left-handed. However, she continues to consult texts relating to the plant world. In this way, she began to paint different oils on canvas, where the protagonist is represented by the flower that at that moment strongly inspires her. This, chosen as a model, is highlighted by shaded backgrounds. The use of color, which has always characterized the creation of residential interiors, now returns in his canvases, always well-calibrated. The design of the floral elements always has an initial geometric structure; this basic scheme is then softened by the insertion of the details and by the often material use of color.
