The peculiarity of this series of artist's books is the presence of an old envelope hand-sewn amidst the pages of the book. The envelope is part of a series of envelopes that contained cards given to us by guests to my wedding. My husband and I are passionate about all objects that in some way connect us to the past and that have the ability to renew memories and feeling when rediscovered after several years. This is why we decided to keep both the envelopes and cards dating bak just over two decades ago.
I also love to keep all material, especially paper, that inspire me. I leave them to decant for months and often years, before visualizing what I want to use them for.
Inside the envelope inside "My Spirit" you can find a small notebook, also made and sewn by hand, in which I typed one of my poems.

When closed, the book is tied with a
natural leather rope.

I am an Italian artist and illustrator. My works depict a world in which reality is represented through metaphorical and psychological images. My interest is focused on issues related to the psyche. I'm interested in feelings, emotions and troubles of the soul. My subjects show a fragile humanity, not out of inner weakness but out of a natural vocation. The use of vibrant colors and bold contrasts, alongside the mélange of various media, enable me to create a complex world where reality coexists with metaphorical elements, the surreal and psychological; a world that can be interpreted in a variety of levels. I work on paper, cardboard and canvas using mixed media: monotype, collage, graphite, acrylic, pastels, grattage. Environmental problems are a topic that I hold dear and all my artistic production develops around the idea of recovering and recycling poor and discarded materials. I find inspiration in paper as a material, and I use discarded magazines, clippings of my drawings or monotypes, old printed papers and envelopes.
