My encounter with art dates back to childhood.
As a child, I listened with curiosity to my mother's stories about my uncle, who was a painter. His paintings, which adorn our home, with their vivid and intense impastos of color, made me realize that artists could be real people, not just distant figures encountered in books. That's how I began to consciously love drawing and color, starting to fantasize about becoming a painter "when I grew up."
Since then, art has become for me a tool to observe reality, interpret it and transform it.
After graduating in Fashion and Costume from the Aldo Passoni Art Institute in Turin in 2000, I continued my creative journey independently, driven by curiosity, experimentation, and the desire to explore ever-changing expressive languages.
Alongside painting and drawing, music, as an amateur multi-instrumentalist, has always accompanied my days, profoundly influencing my way of creating and telling through images.
I work primarily with mixed media and favor intense, vibrant colors. I'm interested in creating images that evoke emotions, memories, inspirations, and stories, moving freely between reality and imagination.
My sources of inspiration range from the animal world to literature, from fairy tales to human relationships, without rigid boundaries between one theme and another.
Fairy tales hold a special place in my artistic research. They fascinate me because they preserve that childlike part of us that continues to be curious, dreamy, and capable of wonder. Through their characters and symbols, they evoke memories distant in time yet still alive in the emotional memory of each of us.
Animals also play a central role in my work. I love making them the protagonists of my paintings, transforming them into musicians, symbolic figures, or characters from imaginary worlds. Through irony, imagination, and storytelling, they become tools for observing reality from unusual perspectives and revealing profoundly human aspects.
Alongside this more narrative vein, I carry out research dedicated to the feelings and bonds that run through people's lives.
Love, desire, anticipation, presence, and absence become opportunities to reflect on the emotions we share and the traces they leave within us.
The nickname "Cat" has become my artistic signature, because felines have always been a part of my life and continue to be an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
With my work, I try to create a dialogue between reality and imagination, lightness and depth, so that each piece can tell a story, evoke an emotion, evoke a memory, or simply provide a moment of wonder.
