I am a self-taught artist with over 20 years of dedication to the arts, having pursued private art education in Italy and Germany with a focus on figurative drawing, illustration, and painting. My primary medium is oil painting, using the alla prima technique, complemented by gouache and tempera works.

In my oil paintings, I combine brushwork with palette knife techniques to create dynamic textures and a sense of immediacy. Much of my work is painted en plein air, capturing urban scenes and everyday moments directly from life. Inspired by the authentic storytelling of street photography and the light-focused techniques of Impressionism, I embrace the challenges of working outdoors, where fleeting light, shifting compositions, and interactions with the surrounding environment push me to capture the vibrancy of life in its most spontaneous form. Light and composition are central to my work, transforming ordinary moments into compelling visual narratives.

Alongside my oil paintings, my gouache and tempera works extend this exploration of light and composition, offering a vibrant and versatile perspective on my chosen themes.

Over the years, my work has been exhibited in group shows in cities such as Milan, Rome, and Genoa. Since 2020, I have presented as a solo artist at ArtMuc in Munich. My most recent exhibitions include the spring 2025 edition of ArtMuc and the Kunst im Karree summer edition in Munich. Atelier shows and continued participation in local art events remain central to my practice.

Through my art, I aim to capture not only the visible world but alto the movement, emotion, and atmosphere of life as it unfolds around us. Whether in oils or gouache, my work is a celebration of light, composition, and the beauty of the everyday. For any further information about my work, feel free to contact me.
