The piece was created by me; I am a professional artist who has been active in the art market for years.

BRIEF BIO
I have always drawn, since I was a child. I approached painting in 2004, self-taught. In the early years I experimented with different techniques and themes. The female figure has always been present in my artistic research, even though over the years I worked on other series of works, especially urban landscapes and scenes of anonymous crowds or individuals.
In 2015 I turned to antique postal material as a support for my works: letters, postcards, maps, manuscripts, and the woman returned to be the exclusive protagonist of my painting.
For many years I have collaborated with numerous galleries, I have held solo and group exhibitions, and I regularly participate in art fairs.
Since 2014 I have a painting studio in Rome, in Trastevere.
In 2021, following the COVID period, I conceived Marginalia, a project of home-made residencies in which I was hosted in a different house in each region of Italy, creating a painting in each residence. All produced material was then exhibited in Milan in November 2023 in a large solo show at the Fondazione Matalon.
At the beginning of 2025 I began working on “Il Caffè,” a project in progress that envisions 100 interview-meetings with 100 different women in 100 cafes in Rome and the surrounding area, to draw attention to the value of connection, listening, and living consciously every moment. Each of these meetings gives rise to a full portrait of the interviewed woman, made of painting, words, and video.
