BRIEF BIO
I have always drawn since childhood. 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, especially urban landscapes and scenes of anonymous crowds or individuals.
In 2015 I approached old postal material as a support for my works: letter envelopes, postcards, maps, letters and manuscripts, and the woman returned to being the exclusive protagonist of my painting.
For many years I have collaborated with numerous galleries, I have held solo and group exhibitions 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 stayed in a different house in every region of Italy, creating a painting in each residence. All the material produced was later 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 envisages 100 interview-meetings with 100 different women in 100 bars around Rome and its surroundings, to draw attention to the value of encounter, listening and living in a conscious way every moment. Each of these meetings gives rise to a full portrait of the interviewed woman, made of painting, words and video.
