Since I was a child, the desire to draw has never abandoned me. Consequently the choice of art school in Italy, graphics post college, and then to London. Between music, art, dancing, studying, assimilating into various cultures and dealing with this eclectic city, I took the opportunity to cultivate my passion, looking for sources of inspiration, to make myself known and exhibit. I have participated in various exhibitions. A highlight was The Bloomsbury Art Festival.
After almost twenty years I moved to Copenhagen where I now live, continuing with my creative path. I decided to publish my first book, thus creating a project that had inspired me for some time: combining drawing with words.
My favourite media are watercolor, gouache, pens, and after a recent course I started a new series of paintings related to my book with the “ink flow” technique. One of the subjects that I love most to paint is the human figure. I have developed my own style, where the subjects are abstract, immersed in the magical shades of the night: moonlight, twilight, candlelight, a dark night, the light of a lamp.
My sources of inspiration are music, reading, dance, and finally the most profound personal experiences. I have developed a style where figures and images inhabit hidden places or dreams, compositions that create an inner narrative and give a springboard to one’s stories and emotions.
The book is one of my latest project, the realisation of a dream I have had for long, uniting my paintings with my words, the two elements inspiring each other, and inciting the reader/viewer emotions.
