“Everything in this existence is variable, in movement and not fixed.”Download CV
Period 2001 — 2020
Influenced by Arte Povera, this work was charged with materiality — found objects, ropes, oxidized metal. Dark palettes, monochromes, tension between tradition and modernity.
Period 2020 — Present
A radical transformation triggered by the pandemic. Color, once secondary, emerges as a vector of emotion, optimism and liberation. A philosophical shift towards the immaterial — light, movement, impermanence.
