“Ceramics are just the latest of my discoveries.”

I have actually always painted!
My first occupation has been with glass: painted, curved and sanded. It has educated me as an artisan, learning how to design, produce and market unique handmade objects. My focus is also on traditional oil painting, acrylic and charcoal drawing, which allow me to create intimate artworks away from the public. On the other hand, the moment of embraced public visibility is given by the experiments with the art of bodypainting. My living works of art are always conveying messages and never simply about chromatism. I am reaching into the world of painting on canvas, wood and walls, collaborating for the design and production of home furnishing. The approach to ceramics came unexpected, nevertheless I value this material both for its historic everyday-life use, both as an instrument of purely artistic expression. In all I make, my intent is always the same: to lend my creativity and my hands to whomever with an idea in mind, but without the manual ability to express it.
