Biography
Battistini was born to a Corsican family, in the state of Bolívar, Venezuela. From a young age she reproduced classics of oil painting.[1]
Upon moving to Paris in 1928 with her family, Battistini began four years of studies at the Académie Julian. She worked in her own studio between 1936 and 1939, a period that was marked by an impressionist trend, although during this time she also dabbled in the Cubist style.[2]
In 1940, Battistini returned to Venezuela and her friendship with the painter and sculptor
From 1954 to 1961, Battistini lived in Buenos Aires, and then she returned to Paris, where she would reside until the day of her death. Three years later, she would definitively retire from painting.[5]
