I provide a certificate of authenticity and ownership of the work

The work depicts a full, crouching female figure, painted on a collage of antique postcards that become an integral part of the composition.
The technique used favors a dialogue between image and memory, transforming the support into a visual archive of stories and impressions.
The figure emerges with delicacy thanks to a palette of sepia tones and natural earths, while the gathered hairstyle and the pose convey a sense of intimacy and suspension.
The balance between contemporary figuration and vintage materials, between classical and modern, is the result of a research that unites figuration and memory, designed for those who can appreciate not only the image but the value of detail and layering.

( The work is set in a handmade frame crafted by the artist, which can be removed easily if you want the piece to be framed by a traditional framer. In case of purchase, after payment it is possible to add shipping insurance, at an additional cost of 3% of the sale price )
Shipping via a courier specialized in transporting art.

The work can also be picked up at the artist's studio in Rome.

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 various techniques and themes. The female figure has always been present in my artistic research, although over the years I have 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: 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, 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 every region of Italy, creating a painting at each residence. All the material produced was then exhibited in Milan in November 2023 in a large solo show at Fondazione Matalon and in Rome in 2025 at WeGil.
