LUCE 2006, oil on canvas Painting

After graduating in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, I obtained a scholarship at the Villa Arson Contemporary Art Center in Nice and an artist residency at the Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan. Following numerous solo and group exhibitions both in Italy and abroad, my works are now present in private collections in Italy, France, Switzerland, Holland, Russia, the United States, India, China, Brazil, Japan and the United Arab Emirates. ​ The foundation of my research concerns the alliance between the visible and the invisible. Believing that technique is not a way of looking back but, on the contrary, an added value useful for achieving important and innovative creative goals, the figurative painting that characterized the first part of my production offered me the opportunity to play on the line boundary between the material and the immaterial dimension. ​ At the time of my academic training I was chosen as the sole artist for the realization of a large Nautical Art project, for which I created over seventy oils on canvas appreciated by enthusiasts and protagonists of the world of the sea in Italy and abroad. Already from the subject of these works my interest in the synergy between the known and the unknown of which navigation becomes a symbol was born: emblem of the human drive to strive for the absolute. The recently produced abstracts of light continue the research begun with the canvases that combine painting and sculpture, in which I intend to capture the energy arising from the point of contact between tangible and intangible. The sculptural production of marble and alabaster in combination with metals continues in parallel with pieces in which the transformation of recycled objects becomes a means of revealing "other" dimensions underlying everyday life.
