magical place, you can imagine stunningly beautiful Oak,
Chestnut and Beech forests hosting a plethora of ethereal
creatures: fairies, goblins and pixies. These are my inspiration.
I studied at the State Institute of Art in Cascina where I learnt a

different cultures, and this has lead to a passion for travelling.
Over the years, my trips to various parts of the globe have
enabled me to be 'freer' in my thinking. The artist in me has

paintings are now foun...
