About the artist

Plein air painting in Panzano, Italy 

The artist at work in her studio

"The feeling of belonging to the human race is what stimulates my artistic production. My various journeys and multi cultural  encounters have enriched my artistic approach. Particularly, my trip to Australia and New Zealand in 2015-2016, has influenced my artistic process,  and the philosophy behind the aboriginal art nourishes my quest for spirituality and identity.

 

My paintings, which are always autobiographic, reflect different extracts of my life. My strokes when landing on canvas, reveal topographic aerial views. Movement is omnipresent, symbolizing continuity. I use dotting to represent the human life in the community. At times the dotting is closely linked together, to show unity. The white dotting always represents the energy that is circulating around all that is living.

 

As Mother Nature is a huge source of inspiration for me, I often start my artwork from pictures of landscapes that I took while travelling. I work from cotton canvas and paint on the floor or from a table, as it gives me the distance needed for an aerial perspective. To create I use the tip of different brushes, and / or, bambou sticks. My palette is mostly earth tones including the harmonious colours of nature. Life has taught me that each human being is part of a bigger scheme of eternal new beginnings".
