I am an artist based in London and Italy is my country of origin. A few years ago, during lockdown, I made a shift from a career as a scientist in industry to pursuing my passion for painting, becoming a professional artist.

My work often begins with “things”—objects, landscapes, and everyday encounters that seem to exceed their functional role and suggest a latent vitality. These familiar entities are observed and reinterpreted as vessels through which connections emerge between past and present, and between personal and collective histories. By interrogating their presence, I strive to reveal their capacity to hold memory and generate meaning.

Recurring motifs include traditional family ceramics, a terrace lined with green tiles, and pasta tubes reimagined as viewing devices. These elements function as both intimate references and shared cultural signifiers, evoking remembrance while inviting viewer participation. Interaction is central to my practice, with works extending beyond passive viewing to encourage tactile and perceptual engagement that mirrors the process of reconnecting with memory.

In a recent project, I am engaging with the “Talking Statues” (“Statue Parlanti”) of Rome—figures historically used as anonymous public voices. Through paintings incorporating QR codes and multimedia installations, I activate these statues, enabling them to “speak” to contemporary audiences. Foregrounding object-agency, I position inanimate forms as active participants in dialogue. Within this constructed narrative, the statues offer perspectives on humanity shaped by centuries of silent observation, their commentary—playful yet incisive—underscoring satire’s enduring role as a tool for resistance.

My work has been exhibited in various group shows in the UK such as the Winter Show at Orleans House Gallery, Works on Paper at the Gallery at Green & Stone, Through Her Eyes at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, Circus of Curiosities at Fringe Art Bath, How to Read Things Wrong at the Five Years Gallery, the Summer Exhibition at the Gallery at Green & Stone, Omnicompressant at the Good Rice Gallery.

My most recent work, Talking Statues, has been shortlisted and won runner up prize at Batsford 2026 and will be shown from June 30 to July 5, 2026, at the CSM Postgraduates show.

I am always very pleased when someone asks me to make a new piece. Do not hesitate to ask if you would like anything shown within this website or if would like to have something bespoke made for you.
