I’m a multidisciplinary artist and began my career as a set and costume designer for Teatro

Due Mondi (a visionary theatre, which produced about forty shows, persisting in placing

the actor and the spectator at the center).

Love for beauty, passion, creativity, fun, relationship and experimentation between

colour and energy, expressed in various art forms, has always been my driving force.

I have been working for more than thirty years as a painter, set designer, costume

designer and chromatic researcher.

Inspired by different materials, paper, cloth, wood, cardboard, recycled objects, metal

etc., and artistic techniques, gouache, watercolour, engraving, collage, papier-mâché,

drawing, with a fondness for upcycling.

I am currently working on a new production for Teatro Due Mondi and carrying out my

personal research on flowers and collages.

Since 2008 I have lived and work in Amsterdam.
