My artistic journey focuses on exploring the concepts of
emptiness and absence as spaces for reflection on one's identity.
I have revolutionized the notion of self-portraiture by
moving away from the traditional representation of the face. In my works, I
invite the viewer to an intimate and personal experience, unveiling the
complexities of my being through a non-objective vision.
My research translates into works on canvas, wood, and
paper, created using a variety of techniques ranging from oil to acrylic, ink,
and pen. Through my art, I aim to invite
the audience to reflect on their own interiority and to discover new dimensions
of their existence.
My paintings are the result of meticulous observation and
constant research. I study the colors and shades of my skin, the lines that
trace my identity, especially those of my left hand, the tool with which I
create. The hand, both tool and protagonist of my paintings, becomes a bridge
between my inner world and the external one. Each brushstroke is an act of
faith, a declaration of authenticity. I invite the viewer to read the traces
left by my hand on the canvas, to discover the deep meaning behind each mark
and color.
After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, where
I participated in numerous group exhibitions, in 2021 I held my first solo
exhibition in Ascoli Piceno (Italy).
