She is an Italian artist, designer and architect.
Born in 1975 in Sardinia (Orani - NU), from 1994 resides and works in Florence.
She started painting when she was very young, at the age of 10, and during her artistic search has been using various art techniques: tempera, computer graphic, acrylic and collage. Colours and shapes are always the characteristic mark of her works.
She’s a polymath person and her sense of creativity has been leading her lately to experiment with new usability of natural materials, as cork and raffia. In the latest artworks, she has been inventing a peculiar hand-weaving, created threading coloured raffia through a needle on canvas. The slow creation of the raffia surface, hand-made with patient, is a painstaking work to think about the passing of time and its value.
