Event: Una connessione profonda
Dates: 20 Jan 2024 - 30 Jan 2024
The exhibition “A Deep Connection” aims to explore the complex bond between humans and animals, a relationship that dates back thousands of years and continues to evolve in different ways. This exhibition project will guide the visitor through various dimensions of this connection, examining the importance of animals in human life, the symbolism surrounding them, and the ways in which our relationship with them influences our world. The emotional aspect of their intimate coexistence relationship is important: in this lies the concept of empathy between the two species and how this connection can positively influence people's lives.
Event: Rendere l'essenza

This is an exhibition entirely dedicated to the fascinating genre of the portrait, an immortal topos of art history. Seven artists from three countries (Italy, Austria, Germany) will be exhibited, who will exhibit their personal research and interpretations on the theme; seven styles that reflect as many points of view and perspectives, all in the name of sincere and clear expressiveness.

Biography
Imagination is not an escape, but the place where the invisible takes form. This is the space in which my painting is rooted. I am a figurative painter, and I work with the human figure as a threshold between the visible and the inner world. My early formative years in the atelier of the painter Rodolfo Guzzoni played a decisive role in directing my research toward portraiture, understood not as mere representation, but as a space in which inner states, memories, and emotional thresholds can emerge.
My work unfolds in a territory where realism coexists with a poetic and visionary dimension. I am interested in the gaze of childhood, not as a narrative subject, but as a perceptual quality: a space of purity, wonder, and imagination. My figures often appear in communion with their spirit animal, a symbolic presence referring to our instinctive, natural, and mysterious dimension — to what precedes us and moves through us.
Portraits thus become liminal surfaces: places where fragility, melancholy, and solitude surface, but also silence and suspension. Identity is never asserted; rather, it slowly dissolves into matter.
I favour acrylics for their immediacy and matte quality, which allow me to work through glazes and stratifications without light interfering with the perception of the image. After an early phase focused on black and white, almost whispered, I began to introduce colour sparingly, in broad, rarefied areas, to construct unreal, suspended atmospheres, in tension with the concreteness of the figurative subject.
Experimentation is an essential part of my process. New materials, hybrid techniques, and contrasts between different surfaces and densities become tools to constantly question and expand my language. I conceive painting as a transforming organism, a field of research evolving together with perception.
My works are held in private collections across Europe, America, Australia, and Asia.
I live and work in Milan.
I am represented by ONART Gallery, Florence.
