I provide Certificate of authenticity and ownership of the work

The work represents a half-bust of a female figure seen from behind, painted on a collage of old 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 suggestions.
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 research that unites figuration and memory, intended for those who know how to 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 easily removed if one wants the work framed by a framer.)
In case of purchase, after payment it is possible to add insurance to the shipping, at an additional cost of 3% of the sale price.

Shipping via express courier specialized in transporting works of art.

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

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 though over the years I worked on other series of works, especially urban landscapes and scenes of anonymous crowds or individuals.
In 2015 I approached postal material from the past as a support for my works: letters, postcards, maps, manuscripts, and the woman returned to be the sole protagonist of my painting.
For many years I have collaborated with numerous galleries, held solo and group exhibitions, and regularly participate in art fairs.
Since 2014 I have had 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 shown in Milan in November 2023 in a major solo show at the Fondazione Matalon and in Rome in 2025 at the WeGil.
