untitled Painting

If you want to contact me, please write me at I was born in Cremona, Italy, on november 21th 1971.After Political Science Degree, I decided to cultivate my passion for painting discovered when I was very young.So I've attended the courses of the Art Academy Scuola di Arte Applicata del Castello Sforzesco (where I studied with Alberto Venditti) and the European Institute of Design in Milan where I specialized in illustration. Then I've improved myself at Micol De Palma's study. I currently live and work in Milan, where I do exhibitions. Some of my works are exhibited at the Galleria La Telaccia of Turin and at the 11 Dreams Art Gallery of Tortona (AL). Now I am working as an illustrator for an English Publishing House. For Real Reads, I've illustrated a retold version of Dante's Inferno (the book is available on ). By cultivating my passion for painting I understood that this way of expressing myself represents an attempt to inquiry into reality in all its expressions: the emotions deeply rooted in the irrationality of the human unconscious and the connection with the world outside. My paintings allow me to better comprehend my intellectual and sentimental complexities. My favorites subjects are feminine figures: I isolate and fix their essence in a eternal time and immutable space with obsessing brush strokes and a delineated mark. I like using oil because, through its consistency, is perfect to express my anxiety to sink into the essence of life looking for its authenticity. AS ILLUSTRATOR: "The first Italian classic from Real Reads is our wonderfully-retold version of the first part of Dante's great epic, told in prose and terza rima by Isabel Coe and illustrated by the talented Italian illustrator Elena Menga".
