about my work...
My works represent a reinvented reality in a stylised interpretation, that exhorts to set free form the weight of the earth, release from the suppression of the reality, get out from under the daily life; moving from the dimension of the earth to the the air is the most important characteristic of my job.
In particular interest me the theme of ‘Being-Existence’, and the human being as a vehicle between earth and heaven, substance and spirit, mind and body and there isn’t any response if the mind and the body are not in harmony….
My narrative aim examines in the secrets of the sentiments and tells about a feminine universe multifaceted, dedicated to look beyond the outside of the people.
Every woman is, at the same time, what she really is and what the others see; always in balance between ‘Being’ and ‘Appearance’.
