• Sandra's creativity is driven by curiosity
• Her coins and medals have a strong identity
• She makes use of ancient and modern techniques

Sandra Deiana was born in Cagliari, Italy, in 1990. Even as a child, she revealed an artistic aptitude and remembers being entranced by her grandmother's handicrafts – such as Sardinian basket weaving. She grew up surrounded by a wide range of ancient Sardinian crafts. "Working with the hands is an intrinsic part of the Sardinian population, which led me to develop this kind of sensitivity.” Today, she has mastered the art of coin and medal making, from sketching out the design to making the plaster model, she combines traditional and ancient techniques with current realities. “I find it really magical that the sculpture in bas-relief can give the observer an incredible plasticity in a few millimetres of relief, as in the case of the coin; this has always fascinated me.”
