(b. 1996, IT)
I am an Italian visual artist based in Amsterdam. After graduating in Painting from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, I earned a Master’s in Visual Arts & Ecology Futures at the Master Institute of Visual Cultures in Den Bosch, the Netherlands.
My artistic research develops through a heterogeneous variety of media, from sculpture to installation, from drawing to written text, and my work can be seen as attempt to create an autonomous visual language with which to explore, reflect upon, and question the environmental transformations of our present through.
Investigating the relationship between human and nature within the anthropocentric vision of the Western world, in my works I try to portray my own entanglement, as an individual, within the widespread ecological transformations of the uncertain present I live in. My sculptures and
installations construct states of ambiguity, hibridity, and ‘in-betweenness’, where the body and the environment, local and global dimensions, as well as opposite forces such as growth and decay, are melting together.
My hope is for my works to function as ‘lenses’ offering the viewer varied perspectives to look at our human-made environments and question their own entanglement within the material realities we are all immersed in today.
