Mirror. Big field and me aside Installation

I was born in the countryside near Piacenza, where I still live and work in a studio from a converted old barn. Cows out to pasture, wheat fields and century-old trees are the scenario that has seen me grow and which I still feel an important part of myself. Love and respect for flowers and animals, for what is boundlessy large and extremely small, the importance of water and of the land, the solitude of nature, poetry and the encounter with the absolute are the themes that I have endeavoured to investigate, together with the exploration and documentation of deserted places. I like to fly in the face of the bounds of artistic research and give life to a setting where the spectator is involved. This I try to achieve by means of different artistic techniques that range from painting to collage, to sculpture with recycled materials, video projects and installations. At present my works are the result of a free contamination of different artistic languages. I have always been fascinated by the Eastern world, by both the shady and the sunny side of the wood; I have embraced its philosophy as my lifestyle and I am keenly interested in the present social change that is leading the two worlds to get closer. I am a visionary person by nature and I like to transform and distort the meaning of things to inspire reflection
