ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The buon fresco technique consists of painting with pigment ground in water on a thin layer of wet, fresh, lime mortar or plaster, for which the Italian word is , intonaco. Because of the chemical makeup of the plaster, a binder is not required. After a number of hours the plaster reacts with the air in a process called carbonatation. This chemical reaction fixes the pigment particles at the plaster's surface in a protective crystalline mesh known as the lime crust. The advantage of Buon fresco is its durability. In fresco-secco, by contrast, the color does not become part of the wall and tends to flake off over time. The chief disadvantage of Buon fresco is that it must be done quickly without mistakes. The painter plasters and paints only as much as can be completed in a day, which explains the Italian term for each of these sections, giornata, or a day's work. The size of a giornata varies according to the complexity of the painting within it. A face, for instance, might take an entire day, whereas large areas of sky can be painted quite rapidly. for commissions: Please contact curator@saatchiart.com for more details.

I was born in Rimini (Italy). As far as I can remember I always painted.For most of my life Rimini has been my home and is where I first established myself as a professional artist. Some people discover their artistic inclinations later in life, but I was in tune with this part of myself from a very early age. Throughout school I was always involved in whatever art classes were available. My work was always on display, and I was continually receiving awards throughout primary school. In order to fine tune my talent I pursued my Bachelor in Fine Art in the "Istituto d'arte Scuola del Libro" in Urbino (PU) Italy, the birth place of Raffaello Sanzio. I attended courses of illustrations for childrens books in Venice under the direction of Emanuele Luzzati and in Sarmede (TV) with Arcadio Lobato. In year 2000 I discovered the passion for the wall and I went to Florence to attend a course of buon fresco at the "Laboratorio per affresco di Leonetto Tintori". Life took me to London (UK) where I lived for almost ten years and where I collaborated with a Welsh company making ceramic swimming pools and murals completely hand-made for the Emirates market. I often collaborate with my sister Catia realizing objects d'art, both in ceramic and wood. We have our atelier in Rimini.
