About

Short Bio
Biologist and teacher, motivated by passion she attended drawing courses at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Brera (Milan) and Trompe-l’oeil courses at the Scuole Civiche del Comune di Milano. She started with oil-on-canvas painting, often drawing inspiration from archaeological subjects to develop line, form and volume studies. These pieces are typically monochromatic to emphasize the forms and their harmony, without multiple colours distracting us from perceiving the underlying motifs. Through a formal synthetic process, she has reached abstract art, leaving conventional painting and colours behind to experiment with a novel and original technique, using minerals and natural materials. Hard Stones, Marbles, Gold Leaf Venetian Glass, Mother of Pearl, Fossils and Shells are the building elements of works that, despite being inspired by the classical mosaic tradition, constitute its rebirth in a contemporary and deeply personal key. Stark contrasts between colours, glossy and opaque elements and the varying height of the materials inspire and induce a three-dimensional movement of the surface of the pieces, generating a new art form, in between a painting and a sculpture. The composition rhythm alternates voids and filled spaces, symmetries and asymmetries and creates a visual musicality.
