I was born in Milan in 1972, but my early years were spent in  Palo Alto California,  a place that shaped my worldview. 

Later, my family returned to Italy, settling first in Lucca and then in Florence.  It was in Florence that I began my formal artistic journey, studying sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts.  

Sculpture gave me a foundation, but soon I felt the pull toward painting as my primary mode of expression and true focus.

Painting allows me to explore themes that resonate deeply with me - time, memory, and the ephemeral nature of existence.  I often begin with photographs taken during my travels or daily life. 

Through the painting process, I transform them into something new, something softened and imperfect, that reflects not just what I saw but what I felt.  

My works aim to tell a story, offering glimpses of silence, absence, and the marks left by memory.
