"Not your doll" - "I am not your doll" is a series where I aim to depict the faces of women with features reminiscent of the most classic dolls, and the message is: "even if I look like a real doll, I am not a doll; your doll is to do with me what you want" with all that lies behind, which, unfortunately, leads to violence.

Born in 1974, I am self-taught.

After an initial period dedicated to sculpture there was a prolonged halt lasting almost twenty years. Since December 2014 I resumed with the "two dimensions" for time and space reasons, leaving sculpture aside and dedicating myself to creating acrylic paintings.

I love painting abstract landscapes, but recently I have been pushing myself to paint faces of people, both imaginary and real.

For me, painting is "freezing time" at that exact moment; a painting of mine is often a faded memory and therefore my works are "consumed, eroded by time". Sometimes the subjects of my paintings are wall perspectives, also eroded by time, with moss and mushrooms that over time grow on the surface.
Time passes inexorably and is the main theme of my works.

Coming from a beautiful experience with clay manipulation, I adore sculpture, the third dimension, the sense of touch, and my paintings are often characterized by reliefs clearly perceptible to the touch and to the naked eye.

In this recent period, after several years in which my works were made from bits of recycled paper forming figures, I am pushing myself to explore Optical Art where I use painted wooden disks arranged in lines and repeated grids with mathematical rigor which, when viewed up close, seem to form an abstract, colorful picture, but the further you move away, the more a portrait emerges from the many painted wooden disks.

Violence against women is a theme that characterizes almost all of my works when I reproduce female faces, precisely to give them a voice when they do not have the strength or courage to report the fact that they are not their partner's dolls and cannot be mistreated or, worse, become victims of violence.
