“As a child I would create the windows of the lingerie shop of my dear grandmather and I would run in the countryside. Since then, I’ve never stopped to embrace nature within spaces to reinvent it and give birth to art works that open to the public’s sensitivity.”

I’m very happy that my universe has been chosen to interact with the esprit of Giovanardi SpA, I feel honoured and enthusiastic to measure myself in revisiting my work ; to draw from my repertoire and to create a new piece that represents our new collaboration. As a child I would create the windows of the lingerie shop of my dear grandmather and I would run in the countryside. Since then, I’ve never stopped to embrace nature within spaces to reinvent it and give birth to art works that open to the public’s sensitivity. For twenty years I’ve been conducting this research on vegetable universe, from esperimentations to metamorphosis, in which I try forms and materials. My work acquires photographic forms, printed, sculptured, glazed with minerals, or captured between two glasses : I constantly filter and revisit the techniques that fertilize my forms. Through these explorations my subjective point of view on nature displays itself, expressing poetry in  matter and materials.
