A New World Painting

My love for art began the very moment my memories originated. Even as a child, I liked to express myself with drawing and colours. I spent hours and hours tinkering with coloured pencils, crayons and felt-tip pens. I did my first painting when I was still a young girl, at the age of sixteen: a naïfs-style painting depicting a country landscape with rural buildings, completely shrouded in snow. I loved to go to the library and browse through art history books and exhibition catalogues to learn about famous painters and their works. Then I took to frequenting museums and any place rich in paintings and statues, such as ancient noble palaces and churches, of which my country, Italy, is so generous. As I studied the styles of the different historical periods and the characteristics of individual artists, I searched for my own identity. Those were the years of adolescence, then of the search for my own personal stylistic signature. Work in the art world has marked my entire career: I have designed fittings and set designs for haute couture brands and later devoted myself to garment design. In the meantime, I got married and had my daughter Nicole. I love animals; my dog Perla is my inseparable companion. I started painting again some years ago, after my experience as a stylist ended and my daughter grew up. The creative impulse I have in me is irrepressible and has driven me to pick up my paintbrush and palette again. When I paint, the melting pot of thoughts, feelings, emotions that I have in my soul takes shape day after day, idea after idea, brushstroke after brushstroke. All the immaterial inside me comes out and becomes material in the finished work: it is like magic.
