"from: Spring- A/n.2" Artwork - Limited Edition of 20

My poetry is expressed by the representation of nature in search of beauty, harmony and balance. I think I have nostalgia for a time when human beings lived in direct communication with nature. I can’t explain in any other way
my compulsive need to represent it.
I love light, color and lightness and I feel the need to communicate them with my work. In all my artworks I just follow my inspiration, there is not much planning; the different materials I use suggest the path I follow. In the various steps of processing, all senses are involved, acting in synergy with the mind and the heart, showing me where to go. Creating an artwork is like making a trip to the mysterious and attractive unknown.
I am sculptor and painter, I was born in Ferrara, northern Italy, and started to be interested in art at the end of the seventies. That was the time when I began to attend a painting, watercolor, sculpturing and graphic school in my town, whose teachers were very talented artists.
I experimented with different materials like: clay to realize terracotta sculptures similar to the ones of Henry Moore, resin and fiberglass for more abstract sculptures, wire and plaster for anthropomorphic figures.
Since the nineties the nature in its most humble aspect became the main source of my work, a nature made of reeds and wild herbs you can find along rivers and ditches, everywhere they can’t be cut by human hands. I picked up and through a personal procedure reproduced them with hard plaster on special tissue (tarlatan). After many solo and group exhibitions, in 2007 I participated in the 4th International Symposium of painting in Odessa (UKR) and in art exhibition at the Museum of Eastern and Western Art.
After having attended a graphic school (Laboratori Liberi) near Urbino, Italy, I started experimenting with a original use of Japanese paper on large canvas, representing a more dynamic and wild nature made of leaves, butteflies, herons, orchids, owls, hummingbirds.
I participated in 2011 to the Biennial of Venice, 54th International Art Exhibition. Since 2013 I have held many solo and group art exhibitions in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Umm Al Quwain, (United Arab Emirates), curated by Swiss Art Gate UAE and Artissima Art Gallery-Dubai, and at public and private galleries in Italy and abroad.
From 2017 I dedicated myself both to sculpture made of iron wire and hard plaster, three-dimensional paintiing with hard plaster relief, and acrylic painting.
