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 pictorial 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 old 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 project of home-made residencies in which I was hosted in a different house in each region of Italy, producing a painting at every residence. All produced material was then shown in Milan in November 2023 in a large solo exhibition at the Fondazione Matalon and in Rome in 2025 at WeGil.
