I am an Italian professional artist and I have been living
in Asia (China and Singapore) since 2008 and previously in France and US. I
have been trained by international professional artists and exposed my art in
solo and collective exhibitions in Asia and Italy.
My encounter with different cultures has led me to strongly believe that at the core, below our cultural and social mask, we are all the same, we have always been and we will always be. In the essence we are all human beings in a journey of discovery, transformation and self-expression.
My art research is around the spiritual meaning of being human and around the transformation journey that each human being goes through his/her life, tapping into personal and collective wisdom and discovery. I bridge western and eastern philosophy, way of thinking and visual language going back to the source of humanity artistic search, when, in the caves in Europe our ancestors were carving their first form of art and inscriptions and when, in China the ancient seal script characters are born (so similar to American cave inscriptions to lead us to ask ourselves if there is really any distinction at all). I am merging all these inspirations with our contemporary visual language: inscriptions (graffiti with spray) and QRcode and images pix-elates on computer.
I paint creating texture and using my hometown ground powder to anchor my art to my origins, after so many years in Asia that have transformed me so much. I am asking myself which is my identity now (Italian, Asian?) and I am realizing that 1+1 = 3 because in that liminal space where I am, in the " in between" space I belong, I can remix things in a new way and create and be something new and different that is authentically and originally me and express it in my art. A "me" that represents all human beings whose identity has been reshaped and mixed.
I also teach painting in the major private art studio in Singapore (My Art
Space) and I developed a methodology called Art4Transformation&Creativity. This method aims to help art students and artists to develop their creativity and their
sensitivity to art through contemplative observation and analysis of master
paintings. I also created an international online cross-disciplinary Art Salon. I am also a graphic facilitator and I run my consulting business in transformation and innovation across Asia Pacific.
