I am a figurative artist working in a variety of mediums (painting, drawing, animation, sculpture). I was born and grew up in Rome and my work is deeply influenced by the western tradition of figurative art but at the same time I like to experiment with new mediums and different approaches, depending on the idea.

My subjects are often single figures that live and act in a space that is suggested rather than described. They reflect my interest for the expressive, formal and narrative possibilities connected to the representation of the human. My reference images are drawn from my everyday life and from the reworking of personal memories. In my picture archive there are photographs of family members in intimate situations but also sketches from memory and from life. Through painting I want to create a new relationship with this images and between these images to eventually transform them into something different that holds a sense of revelation to me.

I believe that the meaning of a painting can’t be described with words because it lies in the relationship between the narrative and the formal elements. Personally I try to communicate with the viewer on an emotional level through a narrative that is simple but open to different interpretations and through a use of paint that conveys a sense of movement, makes the pictorial process partly manifest, and conveys a sense of transition.
