I am a multidisciplinary artist that, through research and documentation, aims to explore the connections between humans and nature from different perspectives, be it cultural, sociological, or environmental which are the main source of inspiration.
As my aspiration is to create sustainable art by avoiding or repurposing waste, I prefer to focus on the creative process, experimenting with unconventional materials such nature finds, found objects, paper, cardboard or anything that comes in my hands.
During the course of study I developed a strong interest in working and engaging with the community as I firmly believe that we are all connected and, through art, there is a possibility to understand each other better and relate to the world we live in; especially today where I feel there is an overall tension worldwide and lack of communication between individuals.

Un mondo d'arte racchiuso in quattro mura. Facile e' perdersi quando circondati da tal invadente bellezza, Il suono di un piano accompagna i miei pensieri. Silenziosa e infatuata, rimango ad osservare Una brezza leggera mi sfiora; Non e' un sogno, sto vivendo.
A world of art confined in four walls It's easy to get lost when surrounded by such intrusive beauty. The sound of a piano accompanies my thoughts. Silently and infatuated, I'll stay and observe. A light breeze caress me; It's not a dream, I'm living.
