FRONTAL2 Painting

I’m an Italian contemporary artist based in Padua, Italy, driven by curiosity and continuous experimentation. My work explores the relationship between human presence, urban environments, and emotional memory through a distinctive mixed media approach. I combine canvas, paper, acrylics, collage, and layered materials, integrating glue and hand-cut elements to build tactile surfaces that echo the visual language of weathered street posters and lived urban walls. My artworks move between figurative expression and abstract interpretation, revealing a subtle tension between fragility and strength, intimacy and external reality. The human body and the cityscape are central to my research, treated as metaphors for identity, time, and transformation. Each work emerges from a process that is both intuitive and technically controlled, where material becomes an extension of emotion and gesture. Through my practice, I aim to create contemporary artworks that feel lived-in, tactile, and emotionally resonant — immersive visual spaces where memory, atmosphere, and material depth coexist.
