Born in Italy, I sketched before I could write and set out on solo journeys through Europe as a teenager. My time living abroad profoundly shaped my artistic journey. Now based in Mijas, a picturesque pueblo blanco on Spain's southern coast, I draw inspiration from the stark beauty of the rugged sierra and the deep blues of the Mediterranean, reaching out toward the nearby Moroccan peaks.
My artistic journey has been shaped by diverse learning experiences, including ancient painting restoration in Italy, illustration in Argentina, and analog photography in Madrid.
I opened my first artist studio in Cadaqués in 2009, followed by an artist residency at 59Rivoli in Paris and at Nauart Espai de Creació in Barcelona.
In Barcelona, I expanded my work to include artistic and humanitarian initiatives in favour of migrants, collaborating with the City Council and NGOs like Doctors of the World. This experience ignited my interest in art therapy, leading me to specialize in supporting unaccompanied minors migrants at Casa Árabe in Madrid.
My commitment to helping vulnerable communities through art stems from a belief in its power to heal emotional wounds and alleviate inner suffering and distress.
My journeys through the physical landscape mirror an inner, spiritual exploration of the self. Living near the borderlands of Africa, I feel a deep resonance with a place that serves as both a crossroads and a meeting point for diverse cultures. This connection continually draws me back to themes that have long captivated me: the intertwining of physical and spiritual quests, symbolized by the erratic lives of migrants—whether gypsies, wanderers, or pilgrims—all driven by a restless pursuit of an ever-elusive destination that often lies within.
Central to my journey are the concepts of memory, roots, and a profound connection to the spiritual realm.
