"HIM" Drawing

I was born and raised in a mountain town in Northern Italy.
Driven by a passion for the study of ancient artifacts and art objects, I established my artistic foundation through the study of classical archaeology, earning a Master’s degree of Arts from the University of Trento. I believe that my experiences participating in excavations in Tunisia and Rome, combined with in-depth research into archaeological material conducted in Sophia Antipolis and Milan, have significantly enriched my engagement with the world of art.
In the second half of my life, driven by a love for the creative process from which an art object emerges, I chose to make art. To further develop and shape my artistic roots—infusing them with contemporary influences—I participated in Summer residency programs at the Sotheby’s Institute of Art in New York (Contemporary Art in NY) and at the School of Visual Arts in New York (Painting and Mixed Media). I enjoy working with a variety of materials; I took several courses at the Abate Zanetti Glass School in Murano, where I subsequently developed a process of selecting and reworking discarded glass—material originally cast aside by the school’s furnace master.
I draw inspiration from early 20th-century art movements—such as Abstraction, Fauvism, and Surrealism—for their exploration of the psychic realm and the significance they attribute to color. Color serves as a central element in my work, whether in paintings on canvas or paper, glass assemblages, or collages—the latter of which I also create using digital media and photography. I am also fascinated by the worlds of comics and digital art.
I select fine art materials and media for my work—out of respect for the collector, those who handle the piece, and those who view it.
