C'est la vie Painting

I was born in Varallo, an artistic town on the Alps, now I live and work in Milan. I paint abstract works inspired by nature and travel. Travel includes physical space as well as inner reality. The centre of my research includes trips into the unconscious, remote or underwater landscapes and literary works (primarily mythological). I use several layers of acrylic colours and pigments as well as enamel in my art. The art is often characterized by strong, bold colours. Shapes are like glimpses into a mirage or a dream. I try to express an emotion, mood or feeling. My starting point is an idea, memory or suggestion. My wish is that observers of my work use their imagination to go beyond the boundaries of the painting itself.
