I started working very young. After school I won a scholarship and I went to study in the Netherlands where I trained in a ceramic studio. When I came back to Italy, I enrolled at the fine arts academy, but at the same time I opened my studio and I was already working.

I am inspired by the works of artists such as Quentin Blake and Emanuele Luzzati. Over the years, I have developed my own style and my own illustrated world with its own characters. However, many people say that my sculptures look like me, so perhaps I am just depicting myself!

I am inspired by the things I love: the natural world, mythology, fairy tales, and literature, in particular the works of Italo Calvino. One of my dreams is to one day illustrate a version of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac.

Today I have a very nice studio and workshop. I would like to one day turn it into a shared space, an open place where people could come to learn an artistic technique but also to relax and restore themselves, a place that people could leave feeling better than when they entered.
