Drawing is my mindset.
My artistic practice is pivoted on relationships and connections declined in different fields. The main themes I explore are: the formation of memories, also impressed in spaces, plants and stones; folklore; the perception of gender-related violence; vulnerability and death.
I want that the final result of my work is always light, no matter how difficult or sad are the themes or the feelings that lie behind it. A multi-layered, quite oneiric style with some unpredictable juxtapositions it’s my approach, I like to offer different levels of interpretation and to think about my work like Matrioskas.
I believe that intimacy, playfulness and delicacy are perfect to convey a powerful, inclusive and revolutionary communication. Connections and links, especially if casual and unexpected, prevail on functions, relationships are the centre of anything: between humans, planets, different species or concepts, they define us.
That’s why I like to research and understand how things intervene on each other, how links are made by human brain, how my cat paws make my paper dirty or how visitors can interact with my artworks and change them. As a consequence I like to work with other artists, researchers, people and living organisms.
I prefer pencils and graphite, charcoal but also ink, penbrush, ecoline, gouache, natural pigments and kitchen ingredients make my drawings appear. I enjoy printing (drypoint, monotype) and sawing/mending too. For my installations I preferably use sustainable and biodegradable materials like paper, wood, natural fabric, threads, music, and, sometimes, living organisms too.
