Biography

I was born in Saronno (VA) on April 5, 1977. I live in Bovisio Masciago (MB).

Since I was a child, I was drawn to crayons, cartoons, and comic books. I felt that one day I too would create something beautiful, and it was natural for me to fill everything around me with color.

I admired my father, a craftsman, who would build furniture from one of his drawings. I watched him in awe and wanted to imitate him. So I spent hours alone in my room playing, creating doll clothes, and inventing stories.

The adult world wasn't for me: I observed it from a distance while in my universe, made of magic and mystery, the sun always shone.

As a teenager, my rebellion and my love for art were expressed through my way of dressing and wearing makeup. I used to hang out in Milan, at the Fiorucci Store in San Babila; I loved dancing in clubs and felt at ease in that surreal, colorful, and cheerful environment.

In daily and school life, however, I was often restless, with the feeling that something was always missing and that my ideas were not understood. I would lose myself in Mondadori bookstores looking for biographies and images of great artists, listening mainly to grunge and rock music.

After high school, my father passed away and I immediately started working, setting aside my true desires. In my free time, I painted as a self-taught artist, mainly with acrylics and oil pastels.

As an adult, I enrolled in evening painting courses at the LAP in Nova Milanese. After still lifes and copies from life, my rebellious spirit resurfaced: I felt the need to express myself in a personal and authentic way.

Meeting the master Alejandro Fernandez was decisive for my personal and pictorial growth. I experimented with oil, acrylic, collage, and mixed media, then embarked on a totally personal path.

Today I prefer to start from the background, with an instinctive gesture, using acrylics, oil pastels, decoupage papers, and tissue paper, subsequently integrating the composition.

I prefer small formats (30x40 or 50x70 cm), which are more intimate, like a personal diary made of emotions, colors, and stories.

When I isolate myself in my studio, the outside world vanishes and I return to that magic and mysterious dimension that has accompanied me since childhood.

The protagonists of my works represent me: modern, stylish, ironic, rebellious, fragile, and mysterious women, stuck in surreal scenarios but always ready to escape stereotypes.

Irony has saved me many times, even in difficult moments. It is also present in my works, where I tackle complex themes while always maintaining a glimmer of hope.
