About

I am a painter working between Italy and France.
My practice moves between abstraction and figuration — not as a compromise, but as a tension I choose to keep alive.
My work starts from a concept. The figurative emerges later, as a trace, a threshold, something not fully said.
I paint in acrylics on canvas, building and undoing surfaces until the image finds itself.
I have shown internationally, including in exhibitions curated by Vittorio Sgarbi.
Portfolio and CV available on request.

Each painting begins before the canvas — in observation, in a question I cannot yet answer. I work in layers, returning to the surface again and again, covering and uncovering until something true remains.I use acrylics for their capacity to hold contradiction: opacity and transparency, weight and lightness, the deliberate mark and the surprise I decide to keep.
Nothing is planned until it is finished.

If you are a gallery, an institution, or a curator — I would love to hear from you directly.
