This self-portrait is an exploration of movement, identity, and self-liberation. The image is intentionally out of focus, as if I were spinning in a whirlwind of life, capturing a fleeting moment of transformation. The raw textures and dynamic strokes reflect a rebellious energy, an urgent need to live freely beyond constraints.
I have invented my own painting style, which I call "GRUNGE", inspired by the Seattle grunge music movement—raw, emotional, and unapologetic. The mix of tar, oil, and acrylics, along with their respective thinners (nitro, turpentine, water), creates a chaotic yet deeply grounded aesthetic. The tar, in particular, represents my connection to the Earth, counterbalancing the ethereal quality of colors that often feel too light, too transient.
This piece is not just a portrait—it’s a manifesto of freedom, an act of defiance against stagnation.

I don’t just paint faces.
I paint what pulses beneath the skin.

I was born in Rimini, Italy, where the sea and history shape the soul. I studied at the Istituto d’Arte Scuola del Libro in Urbino, then trained in illustration in Venice with Emanuele Luzzati and in Sarmede with Arcadio Lobato. My passion for large-scale painting led me to Florence, where I studied the ancient fresco technique.

For nearly a decade, I lived in London, collaborating on handmade ceramic murals and private pools for the Emirates market. Today I work in my studio in Rimini, alongside my sister Catia, creating unique ceramic and wood pieces — and painting what cannot be said in words.

My paintings explore the symbolic power of the face. Each portrait is not a likeness, but a vibration, a map of inner emotion. I work instinctively with a wide range of materials — oil, acrylic, tar, gold leaf, metallic foils, solvents, and whatever the process calls for. I let matter guide me: textures emerge, dissolve, resist, reflect. The surface becomes a ritual site — alive, layered, and emotional.

My artistic philosophy is rooted in experimentation and raw expressiveness. I embrace imperfection, contradiction, and the uncontrolled beauty of the unexpected. This gave birth to my personal language: Grunge Art — a visceral, mixed-media approach inspired by the emotional authenticity of Seattle’s grunge movement. My materials are not passive tools — they are living participants in the creation.

I don’t seek conventional beauty — I seek emotional truth.
My art is a visual alchemy of chaos and control, light and shadow.
Each piece is an invitation: to feel deeply, to see yourself reflected, and to connect beyond appearances.

I also offer commissioned portraits from photographs.
But don’t expect a copy.
Expect something that looks like you — more than you might want to admit.
