Biography

I was born in 1984 in Avellino (Italy). I live and work in Rome as set designer, costume designer and visual artist.
I graduated in Set Design at the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome.
After the academic studies, I collaborated for two years with the Italian artist Tarshito, creating big artworks made of terracotta and ceramic, for several of his exhibitions in Italy and in India, where I have been for an artistic residency.
My artistic research has began in 2008 with performance art, participating to two group exhibitions in Rome. In 2011, probably inspired by my work as costume designer, I started to use the fabric to create my artworks, moving the first steps in Fiber Art and Textile Art.
The use of embroidery in my artworks was a real “epiphany”: I spontaneously started to embroider, unaware of any embroidery technique, and the artworks bloomed. Point by point, in the act of creation, I realized that the chosen path was not only about experimentation, but also about personal knowledge And self exploration, both as an artist and as an human being.. In the act of creation, I interrogate myself, I dig out my deepest feelings and I transform them in works or art, discovering and rediscovering the relationship with the Nature.
Most of my artworks are made with embroidery associated to different materials, objects and terracotta sculpture, to create bidimensional and tridimensional artworks. Lover of experimentation, I created textile sculpture and embroidery on RX.
My artworks was selected for contest and projects in Italy and abroad.
