"All my decisions come from wanting to make art
for the rest of my life"

I graduated from the Liceo Artistico in Lucca and continued my studies at the LABA Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. Later, I moved to Rome, where I earned a degree in Marketing from La Sapienza University while continuing to develop my artistic journey. I also completed a master’s degree in Integrated Art Therapy.



Today, I’m represented by art galleries across Europe and collaborate with architects and interior design studios worldwide on artistic projects. My work has been recognized by Vittorio Sgarbi, who selected me among the top 100 contemporary artists in the national art scene for the exhibition I mille di Sgarbi. I was also recognized by the international Affordable Art Fair as one of the best artists of the Italian 2020 edition.



Additionally, my work was featured in the 55th and 58th editions of the Mondadori Catalog of Modern Art, considered the "bible" of modern and contemporary art in Italy.



I have created several art therapy courses and masterclasses, helping people rediscovering their inner creativity, and building their well being and path to happiness.



I currently live and work in Tuscany, in my hometown of Lucca, with my partner and my three children.
