I am an Italian figurative painter from Milan. Initially hyper-realistic, I am now expressing myself through modern realism and prefer female portraits. My technique is oil on canvas or panel and I use gold leaf and some other texture materials too.

"Tell me on a Sunday" portrays a girl immersed in a summer light, the background of the sea can be glimpsed behind the wall. Her expression reflects a kind of foreboding that is passing through her, a melancholy feeling in contrast to the bright light that envelops her. She has a tattoo with a heart with angel wings on her shoulder and, on the wall, next to her shadow, we can also see the one of a feather falling from her tattoo, in an imaginary way, symbolizing the omen of loss that the girl is experiencing perceiving. I thought of titling it "Tell me on a Sunday" imagining that the young woman thinks that, if she has to receive that news of abandonment, she wants it to happen on a day of celebration. The series of my new production of works characterized by dreamlike and symbolic atmospheres continues.

Dream

"The Keeper" represents a little girl standing still in the middle of a frenetically moving urban crowd. The little girl is dressed in a pink tulle dress to underline her purity and extraneousness to that world of adults that stirs behind her, in a way that is incomprehensible to her. She holds in her hand three pocket watches made of clay, gold leaf and resin, none of which shows a truly comprehensible time, representing how time has a completely different and absolute value and meaning for children, so much so being able to be its true "keepers", protecting it with their truth. The series of my new production of works characterized by dreamlike and symbolic atmospheres continues.
