Biography

Born in Rieti, Italy, in 1997, I moved to Montreal at the age of 17 to pursuit my studies in the arts. I am currently studying in the arts, literature and communication program, arts and design option, at LaSalle College in Montreal and I will graduate in May 2017. Since my childhood, I have always had an interest in the arts, and also in science. When I had to choose a main field of study in high school, I was convinced by my parents to study science. Nevertheless, as soon as I had the opportunity to come to Canada, I decided to finish my studies in the arts instead of science. During the first part of the program, I explored different mediums and techniques, which led me to find my own style and preferences. As of this moment, I have started to work mostly with sculpture, mixed media and installation. My artworks are often based on a more conceptual approach. In fact, I am very interested in nature, science and the mysteries of life, and in most of my works explore these themes. My future plans include going to university to pursue my studies in geology. ----- Artist statement ----- Fascinated by nature, science and life, my works reflect my attempt to discover and understand the mysteries of our existence, as well as my way of thinking and approaching the world around me. I often work with mixed media, sculpture and installation, through a process of exploration, destruction and reconstruction. Indeed, I prefer working with my hands, adjusting and changing the piece while I am actually producing it. I find that this act gives me the possibility to establish a unique connection and understanding of my work in progress, which I do not achieve when I am using digital arts. My works are often based on a more conceptual approach. However, I am interested in exploring new combinations of materials and textures too. I get my inspiration from travelling and discovering the world and the beauty of nature, which always lies at the heart of my work.
