I’m an Italian self-taught artist living in Kobe, Japan.

I was born in Venice. I’ve been painting since I was a child and started painting under the influence of my mother who also has been painting and making sculptures for many years.

I majored in Japanese language and literature and came in Japan in 2006 by winning a scholarship offered by the Japanese Government. In 2013 got a doctoral degree in Japanese philosophy at Osaka University.

Started painting abstract paintings in 2014. I largely use the acrylics but also love trying and using different painting media and techniques. My works are a mixture between the bright Italian colors of venetian glass and the sensitivity of the Japanese nature and landscapes (changing from season to season). Painting is for me a sort of meditation and I usually paint in a state of presence (even when I work on commissioned pieces).

I also make original accessories by using the prints of original paintings of mine.
