Real monuments. Imagined emotions.

Every work begins with the observation of a real place. I study its history, light and proportions, seeking to preserve its identity. Then reality slowly gives way to imagination: architecture transforms, the landscape comes alive and memory enters the painting. This is the language that best represents my artistic research today.

Contemporary Rome

A period of experimentation.

For a brief period, I combined oil painting with elements of collage, newspaper clippings and applied materials, creating three works dedicated to Rome and the themes of contemporary society. It was an intense period of research, born from the desire to portray current events through symbols, news stories and monuments. An experimentation that ended after three works, yet represents a unique chapter in my artistic journey.

Interiority and Eros

The cycle that brought my work to the attention of critics and the public.

For several years, the human figure was at the centre of my artistic research. Through interiors, suspended atmospheres and an exploration of eros approached with pictorial sensitivity, I investigated desire, solitude and relationships. This journey led me to exhibit in dedicated shows, receive critical recognition and obtain important acknowledgements, representing a fundamental stage in my artistic growth.

The Origins

Where it all began.

In the early years of my artistic research, my painting grew out of the observation of reality. Rome, its villages, interiors, architecture and places of memory became subjects through which I developed my first pictorial language.

These were years of experimentation: from brush painting to palette-knife work, from landscapes to interiors, searching in light, matter and atmosphere for something that went beyond simple representation.

Looking back at those works today, I recognise a painting that was still very different from my current work, yet some elements have never truly disappeared: architecture, the memory of places and the desire to go beyond reality.

Colosseo

2005 · oil on canvas · 60 × 80 cm

One of my earliest works devoted to Rome. At this stage, I was still seeking a faithful representation of the subject, working with perspective, light and architectural details.

The Colosseum belongs to a period in which my painting was born primarily from the direct observation of reality. Looking at it today means returning to the starting point of a journey in which distance from reality would only emerge later.
