Artist Statement
Painting allows me to free what I have inside through a creative means, giving me a sense of freedom and liberation.
Creating art liberates my mind to express all the thoughts and feeling held captive within the confines of my imagination.
Painting also allows me to capture an image and transform it into what I see through the lens of my heart and seize it forever on canvas.
This brings me joy because it is the only way I can truly share the same emotions with others.
My work has always been influenced by my life in Venice, where I was born and lived for the majority of my life.
Venice for me is a very beautiful place, that gives a feeling of serenity, beauty and emotion, which has inspired generation and generations of artists and poets from all around the world.
