Humanity proves to be not connected with Nature and therefore not connected with itself. This interaction is the purpose of my works.

ROME ART WEEK / RAW 2026

The figures in the 2026 works represent the complex relationships between the masculine and the feminine, where bodies seek one another and intertwine through dynamic postures. They range from a bridge cast between the feminine and the masculine to the symbolic coexistence of emotion and connection, and finally to the interplay of three female postures engaging in a dialogue about how to present oneself to the outside world. Three canvases capturing three significant, symbolic moments in relationships.

Alongside the canvases, there are numerous drawings I have termed "interactive"—the centerpiece of this Open Studio. These are drawings created collaboratively with others, where each person adds one stroke at a time until a mutually agreed-upon conclusion is reached. All are executed in pastel on 30x40 cm cardstock.

The act of the hand sensing the color directly on the paper evokes a unique emotional and instinctive experience.
