Artist statement

I am a self-tought artist from Northen Italy, Venice area. My artistic process is a self-discovering exploration and materials experimentation  starting from the idea that Art is always free. I mainly paint on wood pannels with acrylic paint but I also use pen, pencil and charcoal, metal and paper mixing them together. Nature is the Muse of my artistic expression but the artistic beauty of my surrondings and the study of Art History have a great influnce on my work.  I don't think I have a hurge to say something rather  than to show what I see: my paintings come directly out from my eyes and follow my idea of aestehetics. My favourite tool is the palette knife with which I hit the pannel repeatedly creating different layers of colours and a rythm in my movements that is menthally and physically engaging . I have a passion/obsession for lines, mainly vertical lines, throught which I describe my world. I am open to any project, exhibition or atistic collaboration.
