Born in Varese (Italy) in 1961 I moved to Prato (20 Km to Florence) where I live and work. |
| About the Artist | |
About my art concept, my sculptures must seem more natural as possible: the artistic works must be like a a natural object , shells , stones,a big grain of rice, the leaves, the bones.The artistic intervention must seems a secondary part respect to a work that must live for own tension. |

SHANGHAI SHAPE
2004 |
)
|
| The title is reminiscent of the ancient game called in italian “Shanghai”, or “Mikado” where the talent lies in being able to move a stick or a series of sticks without moving those underneath.
A series of points, like sharpened arrows overlap one another intersecting on the superior part of the sculpture, made up of a simple lenticular disk.
The inert surface thus corrodes throwing itself into a game of plasticity of small cuts and wounds where the skill of the game doesn’t consist any more in the absolute immobility but in the search of vitality and movement which destroys the petrified inertness of the material itself.

IL SOGNO E LA CONCHIGLIA (The
2004 |
)
|
| A simple form, like a “comfit” stone in which the static mass explodes in thousands of fragments of splinters, tiny sharpened crests to the point of transforming itself into an oniric seashell which lives within the contrast of the apparent irreconcilability of being different.
The inert mass thus metamorphosizes into something surprising; solidifying in a form and hence imprisoning a reminiscence of something vaguely natural and primordial.

DIETRO IL VELO (Behind the Ve
2006 |
)
|
| Here the veil (that one of the seclusion sisters of St. Catherine convent in Prato) begins metaphor of protection and safety.
Behind the veil remains only a small glimmer of darkness, where no one light is be able to penetrate and the loneliness and the separation from the world begins an absolute certain

YELLOW BONDAGE
2006 |
)
|
| In this sculpture the expressiveness and the harmony is searched for the game of weavings and chromatic contrasts of yellow and blue-brown glazes.
An essential shape, a disk that raises ending in two little pointed horns, is subjected and compelled by a yellow band that tangles forming a surprising game of lights and shadows.

doppio sogno twin dream

|
| A double triangular sculpture, two specular parts divided but, in the same time,simbolised both the same twin dream.
Remain ,over all, the same oniric sensation of evanescence and fraility. |

| Almost a natural sea creature, the stoneware begin light as influenced and moved by a submarine wind |

|
| An explosion of light pale yellow rips up the night but it''s only a moment because the darkness of a frail day will return to close all around. |

| Education and biography | |
| I studied in Florence the classics and received my degree in antique literature in the archeological context. At the same time I began to be interested in sculpture , at first guided by Leonetto Tintori, famous painter and restaurer of frescoes and successively from 1991, ceramics with the sculptor and potter Salvatore Cipolla. In 1995 I founded together with other four ceramicists the group “Keramèia”, with which I exhibited in diverse cities. From 1998 onwards I have continued the activity of sculptress and ceramicist on my own partcipating in solo and group exhibitions. Exhibitions 1995 Prato, Palazzo Pretorio 1995 Montecatini Terme (PT) , Saloni espositivi dell’Azienda di Soggiorno e Turismo 1995 Tenno (TN), Casa dell’Artista 1998 Carmignano, (PO), Palazzo Comunale 2002 Cerreto Sannita, (BN), Biennale di Ceramica 2003 Prato, Galleria New Assioma 2004 Prato, Palazzo Datini 2004 Milano, Galleria In Arte 2004 Genova, Galleria San Bernando 2004 Prato, Galleria Carlo Livi 115 2005 Prato, Cassero Mediovale, collezione del museo d’Arte Moderna Sacra di Brescia 2005 Merano(BZ), Galleria Martin Geier 2005 Pisa, Centro Arte Moderna 2005 Brescia, Centro “Mater Divinae Gratiae” 2006 Potenza, Galleria Civica Palazzo Loffredo |
