International master makeup artist and founder of La Truccheria Cherie, Orazio Tomarchio, conceives of makeup as an act of validation: a silent grammar in which makeup becomes a revelation of the self and a space for expressive freedom. A close supporter of ACTO Sicilia and organizations combating violence against women, Tomarchio intertwines the concepts of beauty and dignity, supporting the journeys of identity affirmation for LGBTQ+ and transgender individuals.
