I was born in Bologna in 1985. After graduating from a classical high school, I studied visual communication at ISIA Urbino, the Technische Hochschule Augsburg, and the IUAV University of Venice. I have lived and worked as a graphic designer in New York, Milan, and Mumbai. In 2020, I decided to deepen my research into artistic practice by attending the Brera Academy in Milan. I currently live in Munich, where I am studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in the performance art class led by Alexandra Pirici. Studying graphic design has enabled me to develop a range of tools that support my artistic research. As a graphic designer, I give answers; as an artist, I raise questions.
Using different media (drawing, photography, video, textiles and performance), I collect fragments and pieces of real life (real objects, images, words), which I then reinsert in my artworks, into space. I am interested in investigating how the encounter between form and matter can acquire truth through human participation, as well as how it can reveal something about humanity itself. In my work, discards lose their appearance and become traces of affection and relationships, which speak of the everyday. These fragments of reality are transformed by an aesthetic that cultivates the wonder of vision and the patience of elementary operations. I try to maintain poetic, ironic, dramatic and, above all, rebellious elements in my work, convinced that artistic practice makes sense if it touches something deep within us, if it exposes us to sensitive issues. I abandon myself with confidence to fun and turmoil.
