"My project is mainly made by paintings and drawings, but also videos, installations, performances and sculptures.
My goal is to make art understandable for everybody, from an housewife to a retired man, and give them a positive message, made them feel better. My work speaks about the sense of life and try to give a new meaning to the word "frivolity", that has usually a negative use. For me it is one of the way to learn to live and enjoy intensely every single moment. So making a cake, wear some high hills, suffering for love, getting older, having a baby, jump in the sky, all these become experiences to improve your positive energy and enjoy life."
My idea of art, at first glance, seems simple, almost childlike. In a context in which art is increasingly a thing for a few people, my goal is to speak to any audience, from an housewife to a retired, to send them a positive message: "Enjoy life, live every moment intensely, Do not fall in the traps of the mind, do not get used by people who probably have serious mental problems ". So there is nothing in my work "That goes bad", no negative sides, except the negative energy from where it’s comes from. Every moment of our life can be art, can be happy.
The character that is the ideal protagonist of my works is a housewife that goes to the grocery store, stressed by the economic crisis and the problems of health, with the fantasy goes over that and enjoys her life. On the shelves of the supermarket strange visions begin to materialize, a hot pink bikini in the middle of the bunches of bananas, maybe is it remind us to a distant tropical beach? Goldfish are swimming in the water bottles, cereal boxes are decomposing, they create organic architectures, some gnomes are hiding among the jars of yogurt, a pepper hidden inside a luxury golf course. All this happen while she’s searching the ingredients for a Tiramisù.
It 'a deep reflection on the luxury to exist, we give the right value to our moments. Is it not better to be happy with a diamond of plastic and some colored nail varnish than to have the war in your heart? Frivolity can be not a negative thing, but an alternative to catastrophism and seriousness. A redemption of the woman in all her femininity, as the guardian of truth, authentic and unexpected. An extension of his love to the world. A starting point for peace of heart and mind.
