This is an artisanal frame made by me mainly for protection, easily removable if you want to take the work to a professional framer.

I provide a certificate of AUTHENTICITY and OWNERSHIP of the work.

The item can also be picked up at my studio in ROME.
In Rome and its surroundings I can deliver by hand, personally.
ATTENTION: It is possible to insure the shipment, please notify me in advance.

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 different techniques and subjects. 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 old postal material as a support for my works: envelopes, postcards, maps, letters and manuscripts, and the woman returned to be 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 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 each residence. All produced material was then shown in Milan in November 2023 in a large solo exhibition at the Fondazione Matalon.
At the beginning of 2025 I began working on “Il Caffè,” a project in progress that envisions 100 interviews with 100 different women in 100 cafés in Rome and its surroundings, to draw attention to the value of meeting, listening and living consciously every moment. Each of these meetings gives rise to a full portrait of the interviewee, made of painting, words and video.
