MY STORY

I am an Italian artist currently based in Portugal, specializing in charcoal and soft pastels.

​

Drawing has always been a natural way for me to express myself, ever since I was a child. However, after graduation from art high school, life took me down a different path: I spent several years working in various fields, especially in the restaurant industry, setting aside my artistic journey. It was only later that I realized I needed to reconnect with this essencial part of myself -- and art once again became my language. I consider myself a self-taught, even though I have an academic background, because my true artistic voice emerged indipendently, throught personal exploration.

​

My work focuses mainly on faces and hands, two powerful storytellers of human emotion and experience. My style moves between realism and expressionism, seeking a balance between accurate detail and emotional depth.
