BIOGRAPHIE
(Les textes français suivront prochainement)
Visual artist born in Verbania in 1984, she graduated in Architecture in Milan in 2011, the city where she currently lives and works.
In 2017, during a trip to Japan, he discovered the ancient Japanese decorative technique Suminagashi which influenced his poetics in the initial phase.
In 2018, a trip to Turkey enriched his path through a technical specialization in Water Painting at the "Galatart-Ebru Atölyesi Art School" in Istanbul, which influenced his poetics for the first few years: crucial for his artistic path was the Ebru technique, an ancient pictorial practice that allows you to model shapes directly on water.
In 2019 he enrolled in the three-year painting course at the "Scuola Superiore d'Art Applied del Castello Sforzesco" in Milan.
From 2021 to 2024 he specialized in oil painting at the atelier of the master Angelo Marco Salmoiraghi, an Italian figurative painter rooted in the classical realist tradition which has its roots in the lessons of Max Doerner and Federico von Rieger.
The artist's work is divided into a path in which technical experimentation becomes the vehicle for an internal search in continuous evolution and exploration.
Démarche artistique
Poetic
Painting, for me, is an inner place.
It is the way I give form to what cannot be spoken, to what inhabits a silent and profound space. Through color, matter, and transparency, I move closer to a dreamlike world made of suspended images, symbols, and visions that arise from listening to myself.
This dreamlike dimension is, first of all, a personal and intimate expression, deeply connected to emotional experience and individual perception. At the same time, it opens onto a more ancient and ancestral dimension: a symbolic language that belongs to humanity as a whole, capable of transcending time, culture, and rational thought.
The figures, often female, emerge as presences beyond time, suspended between reality and imagination. They do not narrate defined stories, but rather evoke emotional states, deep memories, and inner tensions. The image does not seek to explain, but to suggest, leaving space for the viewer’s own sensitive experience.
Painting thus becomes a place of resonance, where individual interiority can transform into a shared experience, and the artistic gesture becomes a bridge between the personal and the universal.
