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 if over the years I worked on other series of works, especially urban landscapes and scenes of anonymous crowds or individuals.
In 2015 I approached antique postal material as a support for my works: letters, postcards, maps, letters and manuscripts and the woman has returned to be the exclusive protagonist of my painting.
For many years I have collaborated with numerous galleries, I have exhibited in solo and group shows and 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 home-made residency project in which I was hosted in a different house in each region of Italy, creating a painting in each residence. All the material produced was then exhibited in Milan in November 2023 in a large solo show at the Fondazione Matalon.
At the beginning of 2025 I started working on “Il Caffè”, a project in progress that envisages 100 interview-meetings with 100 different women in 100 bars-cafés in Rome and surroundings, to draw attention to the value of meeting, listening and living each moment consciously. Each of these meetings gives rise to a full portrait of the interviewee, made of painting, words and video.
