Why A quiet perspective?
​
As an introvert personality, feeling like a stranger in a conventional environment, I have learnt, early in my childwood, to create my own world as a way to escape, survive and be happier.
Being very sensitive to extreme stimulations such as loud volume or intense light and colours I prefer to conceive calm and low atmospheres, which make me appreciate more details and subtle nuances.
​
I was born in one of the most artistic city in the world, Florence, Italy, which I am sure planted in me a spontaneous sense of beauty.
​
The ability to give birth to something with my hands fulfills, since then, my sense of satisfaction and relief.
​
Despite oppositions, my natural talent has always emerged and I have managed to follow my path.
And here I am, still evolving, looking for new ways to express myself and keep my interest up.
​
Why I paint
​
. I can't help it
. it comes natural to me and I am pretty good at it
. I really enjoy to be by myself in the studio and enter my personal world made of good vibes and beautiful stuff
. it is my way to communicate: I'd rather express myself with images than words
. it keeps me sane...
What I love
​
. birds singing just before dawn
. having coffee in nice places
. wandering in little towns
. tiny, cosy interiors
. a simple life
​
...oh, and I have an incomprehensible attraction for boxes.
Probably my feline side...
