I was born in Milan in 1975, the city where I currently live and work.
Very early, at the age of 12, I approached photography and printing techniques.
After my artistic studies, I trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts.
I worked for many years in theatre and later as a creative in the world of fashion.
My education has drawn, and still draws, deeply from the working world, which taught me and allowed me to understand.
First through photography and then through painting, I told the story of the power of memory, depicting worlds and real spaces that sometimes become surreal.

For several years now I have been working with earth to give shape to all this; I intervene with painting and assemble everything definitively at a later stage. These are forms that belong to the past and that sometimes contaminate one another in an almost accidental way.

Working with earth holds a profound meaning for me, one that goes beyond manual skill and the performative gesture. Placing my hands in the earth is to transform in order to be transformed; it is to perform a meditative act of listening and silence.
Today I weave my skills together to tell something very intimate yet also extremely collective.
I love bringing attention to themes I have explored in my most spiritual paths in order to give them a more social meaning, where each of us might recognise something familiar.
I trained as a yoga teacher and recently completed training as an art therapist with an anthroposophic approach. In both experiences I was able to listen to myself more deeply and understand the significance that art has on the human soul.

Today I experiment with earths, sands, and stones, sometimes rich in metals, to obtain often unexpected effects. I collect everything that sparks my curiosity—colours, forms, matter, and textures. I use earth not only for modelling but for creating a skin. At times I use it as a raw pigment to enhance its natural colours; other times I fire it at high temperatures to discover how it transforms. In this way I obtain a wide variety of colours and possible material pictorial effects.
I do not invent anything; I merely imitate processes and forms, and I like to think I might, by chance, retrace the stages of transformations that have truly occurred in nature over millennia.

I create through colour and form, allowing them to converse with one another; when form merges with colour, it is each time an encounter with the past, ancestral forms like archaeological relics of our own era.
In my work there is a nostalgic vein that searches, yet without melancholy.
I truly never know what will emerge each time, but I let myself be guided.

I currently work in Milan.
