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 several techniques and themes.
The female figure has always been present in my artistic 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: 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 participated 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 homemade residencies in which I stayed in a different house in each region of Italy, creating a painting in every residence. All the produced material was then exhibited in Milan in November 2023 in a large solo show at the Fondazione Matalon.
At the beginning of 2025 I started working on “The Coffee”, a project in progress that foresees 100 interview-meetings with 100 different women in 100 bars/cafés in Rome and surroundings, to draw attention to the value of encounters, listening, and living consciously every moment. Each of these meetings gives rise to a full portrait of the interviewed woman, made of painting, words, and video.
