About Lisa fittipaldi

About Lisa Fittipaldi's famous paintings

Her History & Her Work


Lisa Fittipaldi is an internationally recognized artist having been featured in several international newspapers such as El Mundo and The London Times, on various television networks including but not limited to CNN International, BBC World and BBC World’s Arts, NBC, El Jazzera, CBS and Sky News. 


Her works have been showcased in various museums and are collected by Fortune 500 companies. 


She is a self taught artist who began painting after a severe loss of vision due to Cogan’s disease from MCTD and Giant Cell Arteritis. She initially began painting in watercolor. Eventually she signed with an international art gallery who encouraged her to paint abstracts in acrylics and realistic images in oils on canvas. 


She is also known internationally as a sculptor and renown author. In 2025 she returned to painting full time, after a series of complex medical issues and a successful run in figurative clay work. She remains legally blind with interstitial keratitis and keratoconus, optic neuritis and vasculitis all derived from Cogan’s disease. 


In her free time she is writing a new book Embracing Life, traveling and publicly speaking about autoimmune diseases and blindness.
