The main objective here for me was to explore autoimmune diseases. I am fascinated by how the body attacks itself in these cases and the pain that people experience makes them feel like their body is becoming their living coffin. The setting is very cold, almost clinical, to give a sense of preservation enhanced by the sarcophagus, while the lace represents the intricate way the body works, how it can change from perfect to self-distructing, together with my Southern Italian origins.

Born in 1983 in Italy, I now live and work in London. When I paint, the process always begins with a visual experience. Memories, a piece of music or the simple observation of human behaviour can trigger a visual journey in my mind, often translating into surrealistic, unsettling and yet familiar scenarios. I have experienced it throughout my life and explored it in my work as a fashion and art photographer first and later on in my paintings. I am drawn to dark atmospheres contrasting with bold colours and I mostly have a clearly figurative approach; therefore I can really connect to movements like Surrealism, Expressionism and New Objectivity. My italian origins made it easy for me to absorb the tradition of the classical art world, its aesthetics and eternal influence. These are all elements and inspirations that compel me to create an alluring, parallel reality, flirting with beauty, darkness and discomfort. I have been always fascinated by the process of personal evolution, therefore all of my characters are transitioning through the rewarding, yet distressing journey towards self acceptance. At the same time, they are weakening people’s phobias towards who or what is perceived as different in our society. I truly believe this journey is applicable to all of us, artists or not, and the different personae I portray in my paintings are exposing something unusual with a deep sense of dignity and a tangible vulnerability. This is their conflicting condition and the intimate pain they carry with them.
