What do you aim to say by the themes in your art?

 

My work consists of the development of issues related to the theme of nature. My collections deal with the theme of body and landscape representation in its different shapes and manifestations, as an expression of nature.
 

Where does your inspiration come from?

 

My inspiration comes from the history of man and the phenomenology of nature. My artistic production focus on the reinterpretation of the classic myth, on the observation of natural phenomena through visual perception.
 

Do you have any experiences that have impacted your art?

 

Yes. Since I was a child I have had to face many difficulties related to my introverted character and to my deep sensitivity, especially in social relations. I had to face health problems and fight against prejudice. These experiences motivated me to become stronger and work out my worldview.

Do you feel your art challenges existing barriers?

Yes very much. My art expresses the will to fight against injustice and offer new perspectives. The symbol of the hyaena in my painting, for example, represents the need to break down social labels and prejudices.


 What are your long-term artistic goals?

 

My long-term artistic goals are to continue to make art and divulge in every way the message behind my work.
 

 What advice do you have for aspiring artists?

 

Never to give up, not to be knocked down by the doors slammed in the face, believe fully in themselves, and propose a message for the cultural growth of humanity.
