ARTIST STATEMENT
"Heaven and Earth and everything in between..." I aim to portray the sole beauty and the complex frailty of the human soul in my artwork...
Creating art is my recollection of fragments of emotions and feelings that are transferred onto canvas, sculptures and various surfaces that become objets d'art.
As a Multidisciplinary Self-Taught Artist I create in various mediums from paintings to sculptures to "objets d'art" that I design and I create as a One of a Kind in my Art Studio.
I am inspired by the Renaissance, Baroque and the Rococo and my passion for Art History often reflects in my decorative art and its design.
My decorative objets d'art are created as unique designer pieces and they won't be reproduced exactly the same again. Ultimately, Art is for me a spontaneous and well defined form of expression that allows me to communicate visions of my world that I wish to share and every creative session is a new challenge and the most exciting journey.
I wish to spark and to convey emotions through my art and I hope that my artwork will also transmit feelings of kindness, hope and beauty to the audience, across the space and time..

“Without Art Mankind Could Not Exist” ~ L. Tolstoy
IN my youth, as an Art and Design Student in my native homeland Italy, I have been always fascinated by the Italian Renaissance, the French Baroque, the Italian Baroque and the Rococo. My creative process is highly influenced by such delightful Art Movements and their distinguished grandeur as i am equally passionate about art history.
as a self- taught multidisciplinary artist i express my creativity through experimentations and by using several different mediums and techniques to create different art forms.
for the past 35 years i have been creating visual and fine art.. from designing visual merchandising and theatrical props, to interior decorating, graphic and print designing, doll making, sculpting, photography and painting.
i create by employing various mediums and high quality materials and beside painting portraits, I create sculptures and I love to design and to craft unique and dimensional "objets d'art".
ultimately, the artistic process is for me a necessary form of expression that urges me to create and to leave traces of my presence and fragments of my soul in this world..
