    CV & AESTHETICS

    I was born in 1987 in Venice, Italy. There I studied philosophy (Cà Foscari
    university) and drawing (Academy of fine arts) before moving to Pisa and England
    where I graduated in the history of art. Now based in Hungary and Slovenia, I work as
    a language teacher, I paint and write.

    My paintings take a philosophical view of humanity and feelings, favouring


    realism and tradition in my aesthetic. My oeuvre is located in bleak empty landscapes
    and sentimental portraits. The portraits look at the expression of the flesh, captured in
    detailed dark oil paintings, where only a part of the body is visible, but evokes a sense
    of sorrow, frustration, nostalgia, or the subject’s own emptiness. I only paint people I
    know and I relate to, and my muse is my husband.
    I am inspired by Romanticism and Mannerism, by the work of Francis Bacon
    and the kitsch aesthetic of Odd Nerdrum. My work could be described as “dark
    kitsch” “photorealistic” or “desrupted realistic”.

    I have started drawing when I was two years old, and I have never stopped. My
    first oil on canvas was a portrait of my cat, I painted at the age of twelve.

    My first solo exhibition took place in 2010 in Forte Tron (Venice). In 2021 one
    of my paintings was exhibited at the Biennale of Venice in the pavilion 29, in an
    exhibition dedicated to young artists with the title “Creators of our time”
    My next solo exhibition will be held in Budapest.
    I have been exhibiting in Italy, Hungary and Slovenia.

    I exhibit alone or with others, and I am an active member of the collective of


    painters Hungarian movin’ gallery.
