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 painting 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 moved toward old postal material as support for my works: letters, postcards, maps, 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 shows, 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 home-made residency project in which I was hosted in a different house in each region of Italy, creating a painting in every residence. All produced material 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 envisions 100 interview-meetings with 100 different women in 100 bars/cafés in Rome and nearby, to highlight the value of encounter, listening, and living consciously each moment. Each of these meetings gives rise to a full portrait of the interviewed woman, composed of painting, words, and video.
