… my eyes finally opened and I really understood the Nature: at the same time I learned to love it
( Oscar-Claude Monet)
I am originally from Capri and currently live in Rome. My painting emerges from a visual intuition: a color surfacing among the leaves, the light gliding over water, a vibration in the air. Nature is my source of inspiration, but I do not aim to reproduce it realistically — through my pictorial language, I express the emotions it evokes in me.
My painting is abstract and draws nourishment from my personal experience: from the landscapes internalized during my childhood, from the intense colors of the Mediterranean, from the stillness and strength that only nature can offer. I do not seek to represent what I see, but rather to translate what I feel, transforming sensations into pictorial matter.
I mainly use oil paint, applying glazes, creating layers, alternating delicate brushstrokes with more forceful, decisive gestures.
My artistic research resonates with lyrical abstraction, due to the importance I attribute to color as a vehicle for emotion. At the same time, I feel a strong affinity with Impressionism, particularly with Monet and Van Gogh, for the evocative power of light, atmosphere, and color. The gestural and instinctive approach of Pollock has also influenced my way of painting, as a direct expression of inner life.
Color is the key element of my language: through tonal variations, gradients, and contrasts, I aim to create visual spaces that lead the viewer into an inner experience. I want my works to offer a moment of suspension, in which one can slow down and listen inwardly.
I believe this happens because my visual language is not narrative but evocative: color does not describe, it suggests. Tonal variations, fluid transitions, and the alternation of light strokes and bold gestures create an inner rhythm, akin to the emotional landscape within us.
