My theoretical and formal research path began in architecture, through a long experience in the field of signature architectural design with the studio Archea Associati. I later deepened this trajectory through a doctorate dedicated to the relationship between art, architecture, and landscape, culminating in Topographical Architectures (2006). Over the years, this perspective evolved further, leading me into the languages and methodologies of the visual arts, first with a diploma in painting (2017) and later with a specialization in paper materials technology at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma (2022).
The relationship between the expressive codes and themes of architecture and the visual arts emerges in my work through experimentation with materials, the interaction between different techniques, and the poetic exploration of major themes in contemporary philosophy. Questions concerning the relationship between form and meaning, the sense of place and time, the dialectic between humanity and nature, entropy, and memory are approached through a rigorous formal and conceptual research that nonetheless remains open, expressed through essential and reduced solutions.
Transformations, dissolutions, and disappearances of things and nature surface through the use of different expressive media, which, alongside the multiple possibilities generated by the materiality of paper, also include photography, video, and the spatial dimension of installation.
The fragility of existence and the complexity of personal and collective memory emerge from my observation of the perceptual and physical phenomena in which we are immersed, between terrestrial and celestial landscapes, cartographies and classifications of elements, finds and remains, nebulae, shadows, and luminous bodies.
Experimentation with paper — a living, sensitive, and impressionable material — together with self-produced natural pigments, digitally processed images, and the use of the scanner to record atmosphere and movement, become magnifying lenses through which I search for meaning in reality and explore an unusual spatial and temporal dimension in which the threads of memory may be reconnected.
