"sister with fruit" Painting

Through out my life I've been involved in a number of Art projects including voluntaries work
with ran a painting workshop for children and also disable people. I have great organisational an
time management skills developed through years of developing and organising art exhibitions and
shows including budgeting and programming, for friends, galleries and myself. Through these
projects I have worked with many people of different disciplines, trades and skills, of age and
culture. This is vital in relation to my own personal art business where I produce and sell my own
artwork.

i was born in Italy in 1982 and from two years i moved in London.

The word Artist today has become an ambiguous term which can be difficult to fit into contemporary society, where art essentially means money.
For thousands of years it was the only source of dialogue, of faith and more simply of images for all of humanity. Today all these things pass through technology, the media and television.
Personally at this point I believe in a broadened concept of art that still refers to the purer concept but with a few differences.
Art was born from a need to help people, as well as the artist himself, and today in 2008 I feel a strong desire to recover this concept of art as a real and concrete intervention, that can bring help in any form to other people.
For this reason I firmly believe that if one wants to admire the greatest works of art and the new great artists of our age, one need not attend the famous Venice Biennial, but one must look at the activists of great humanitarian organizations such as Mdecins Sans Frontires, or Greenpeace, or else Muhammad Yunus (founder of the bank for the poor and winner of the Nobel prize for peace).
Nevertheless I also firmly believe in the importance of my own practical work as an artist both as a way of helping others (hence my passion for voluntary work as an artist in Italy, in a residential home for the elderly in 2000 and in a youth club for children in 2002, then on a course entitled Art as therapy at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera in 2005, and finally my experience as a private painting, sculpture and design teacher to young people with low educational attainment), and as a way of helping myself.
