About — Artistic practice rooted in memory and form

As the world gave way to chaos and fear, I was learning that life, with its fragile tenacity, is what deserves my every attention. It is from this quiet and powerful awareness that my art is born.

Every creative gesture is, for me, an act of memory and transformation. My works are inner journeys, fragments of my lived experience that take shape as form, light, and shadow. They tell the story of who I was and who I am becoming, weaving together wounds and rebirths, roots and metamorphoses.

Once, my expression was driven by the urgency to exist; today, it arises from care, from listening, from the slowness that knows how to welcome.

My art comes to life from a memory: the light of a candle lit in a bunker during the war. From that flame, fragile yet alive, was born my need to imagine, to create worlds.

Even now, I paint to preserve that light and give it a voice.

CINQUE PETALI

— A hand-drawn animation born from my most intimate memories.
It is a gesture of care and transformation, shaped by the need to give voice to what within me asked to be heard.
