My Story
I grew up in the enchanting walled city of Alatri, a place where cobblestone streets are infused with the aroma of freshly roasted coffee and a towering cathedral watches over its humble inhabitants. Nestled in the heart of rural Italy, Alatri is grounded in tradition and located just an hour southeast of Rome.
Rome, with its rich history, magnificent architecture, and abundant art, ignited my passion and inspired me to pursue a career in the arts. I began my studies at the Art Institute in Anagni, Italy, and in 2013, I completed my degree at the Academy of Fine Arts of Frosinone.
Upon finishing my studies, I felt a strong desire to explore new places, meet new people, and immerse myself in new experiences. This led me to Ireland, where I was immediately captivated by the country's beauty and the warmth of its welcoming people.
Ireland, while distinct from Italy, shares a deep cultural and artistic heritage. It is a land marked by a rich, proud history, yet also shadowed by a turbulent past. These dualities are reflected in its people; warm, charming, genuine, and deeply engaging.
Today, I reside in the picturesque village of Howth, Dublin. The landscape here is breathtakingly beautiful and endlessly inspiring, with the village itself brimming with unique characters and stories.

Throughout the years, I have expressed my art through various mediums and techniques. I work with wood, acrylics, board, charcoal, and custom-mixed pigments, which allow me the freedom to experiment and create one-of-a-kind pieces.
Charcoal, in particular, holds a special place in my heart. Its deep, natural, and subtly textured quality is simple yet complex, emotive yet contemplative. I love how it interacts with strokes of color, revealing its provocative beauty in the most unexpected ways.
My artistic focus is on painting individuals, capturing their personalities and emotions, and sometimes even creating new emotions within the viewer. I aim to maintain a fresh style, always paying close attention to composition and the atmospheric value of light.
The surface of a piece is crucial to my work; it often takes many layers to reach a level that feels complete and satisfying. I continuously experiment with different materials and mediums to bring my ideas to life.
I embrace the process of experimentation, understanding that frequent failures are essential stepping stones toward achieving success.
