I am an Italian visual artist, born in Bolzano in 1987. I attended my artistic studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice between 2006 and 2012. In 2014, I moved to Vienna, Austria, to work as a scenic painter for the Vienna State Opera. After leaving my career as a scenic painter, whose experience and technical enrichment I carry with me, I spent 8 months visiting Asia and Australia. Being in contact with the powerful nature of these places, which are exotic to me, gave impetus to my artistic inspiration! After this trip, I lived the last three years in Germany before returning to Italy recently, near Verona.
I make art with different mediums: from oil painting on canvas, to engraving, to painting on plexiglass combined with light effects. My palette is vivid and rich, creating images of animals, echoing the importance of making the planet more sustainable. My artworks are part of private collections all over the world. I have participated in exhibitions in Venice, Berlin, Munich, Vienna and in my hometown Bolzano.
