Born and raised in Italy.
Graduated in graphic design in 2002.
I've lived and worked between Italy, UK and Spain. Currently I moved back to my home country.
​
My art would to rework and regenerate what is no need longer used for a specific purpose. Rather than being eliminated they find a new life in textile works.
My artistic career began in 2007 experimenting with different techniques and materials. Actually, my passion for textiles began 20 years earlier, in my grandmother's tailoring tiny studio. With her I enjoyed sewing, embroidering and above all learning how to crochet. I used to picking up threads and small pieces of fabric from the ground while my grandmother was creating her dresses. Using my imagination I reassembled them in various shapes, creating my own little accessories and objects.
I really like abstract shapes, I'm fascinated by imperfect things, randomness and asymmetries.
