Symba in Violet Armor (2021) Tablo Sarita Nanni tarafından

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.
