2025–2000
“Dipingo con i colori della Terra l’organicità della vita, dove il mondo minerale, vegetale e atmosferico si intrecciano. Utilizzo un mio alfabeto e una frequenza senza tempo per scandire movimenti geologici.
La mia potrebbe essere definita una pittura di soglia, mi pongo in mezzo fra realismo e astrattismo. Le immagini nascono da una generazione spontanea e da una respirazione consapevole, in seguito a un dialogo tra il mio mondo interiore e la natura esterna, è un incontro tra l’inorganico e l’organico, tra il pensiero e la natura”.

Selected works
2025–2000
“I paint with the colors of the Earth the organic nature of life, where mineral, plant, and atmospheric realms intertwine. I use my own alphabet and a timeless frequency to articulate geological movements.
My work can be described as threshold painting, poised between realism and abstraction. The images emerge through spontaneous generation and conscious breathing, following a dialogue between my inner world and the external environment: an encounter between the inorganic and the organic, between thought and nature”.
