About

The very nature of art is pervasive, extending from floor to roof. Painting has never simply been the skin of architecture or the outer layer of a building; it has always played a functional role.

I was born in Ancona in 1992 and I live and work in Turin. My work has been shown at institutions including Art Basel Hong Kong and Triennale Milano. I collaborated with Fendi on the collection presented at the 2025 Fashion Week, and with CC-Tapis on the project presented during the 60th edition of Salone del Mobile. I realized site-specific commissions for Airbnb, Fondazione Ermanno Casoli, and Palazzo Fendi, both in Milan and Miami. My work is part of private and institutional collections, including those of Palazzo Bentivoglio and Banca d’Italia.
