After working as an Architect and Interior Designer for over 15 years in Brazil and using this experience of working close to art galleries and with many artists but also her knowledge and multidisciplinary education in Law, Architecture and Interior Design, Jewelry, Ceramique Painting, and Art History, provided her subsidies along the time to become an art curator and art advisor.

Simone is also responsible for the Guatemala National Pavilion's project during the 59. Biennale d'Arte Venezia 2022, being part of the most prestigious art event. Statement: "I believe art represents a potent tool for building bridges between people, strengthening mutual understanding. Art can be a great engine for economic and social development, to make not only citizens grow and become more engaged, but also entire communities and governments. Art is the key, above all, to understand the thinking and way of life of an era and a people. It is what will forever represent us here so that the next generations will understand us. This is the artist's greatest value." - Simone Piva Founder & Curator
