I was born in southern Italy in 1973.
Studied in Florence, where obtained a master’s degree in Interior Design and previously in Intercultural Linguistic Communication in Lecce with a thesis based on contemporary artists of Arab origin emerging in the Western world.
I paint on canvas and paper and produce graphic projects, as well as custom artworks.
STATEMENT
My work comes from a focus on the landscape, on the elaboration of natural details and the atmosphere they can evoke. The way I paint is the result of two fundamental and opposing tendencies: the analysis of the lines which at the same time break up and form the image, which explicitly referes to digital graphic printing – that are generally spread over large canvases, whose background is mostly a ‘pearly‘ and iridescent monochrome; and a way of brushing that dissolves the image. The attention is always focused on the perception of the subject, whose plastic value is highlighted in his essential profiles. Starting from a photorealistic base, in all cases, my research gives way to abstraction, suggesting sensations and emotions, which vary as the point of observation varies, since according to the point of view and lighting, some lines rather than others are perceptible; sometimes instead the art reasearch invests the entire environment of the exhibition, with site-specific works installed, where the protagonist is the space of the exhibition itself, within which the painting dialogues with it.
