Born in Rome, Italy, on December 31st at 8 p.m.—like Matisse—I was first introduced to art by my grandmother, a sculptor and poet who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. Her influence was foundational, nurturing both my creative instincts and my sensitivity to form and emotion.
From 2019 to 2022, I studied painting at the Art League at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, VA, under the guidance of Beverly Ryan, Danni Dawson, Deirdre Saunders, Brian Jernigan, and Marsha Steiger.
My practice balances a passion for figure drawing with an affinity for abstract expression. I’m drawn to the complexity of human presence and to the visual language of abstraction that transcends the literal.
In 2021, I began a series of mixed-media canvases shaped by the intense experience of lockdown in the U.S. Initially inspired by the sudden simultaneity of all spaces at home and our total dependence on digital connectivity, the series evolved in response to the rising tide of news anxiety. Over time, it became a visceral reflection of the overwhelming flood of disaster and war headlines—a psychological landscape shaped by digital saturation, dread, and disconnection.
Through my work, I aim to engage the viewer—by provoking thought, offering moments of aesthetic pleasure, or capturing something of the emotional atmosphere of our time.
