As an artist and researcher, I aim to translate social interactions, constructions and paradoxes within a decoding visual language. I see the canvas as a ‘heterotopia’, using a term by Foucault, another world within this world, a space of experimentation in which the constructed mechanisms of social life are revealed. I reflect on my artistic journey on this blog.

​​​Research in Nepal (2017-2024)
Many of my recent artworks focus on my doctoral research project in Nepal in which I explored family conflict, hierarchy subversion, the evolution of rites of passage and the making of the self among the ethnic group of the Newars.

Windows on the World (2014-2017)
This project is an artistic elaboration of social objects, focused on the paradoxes and the distopias of contemporary Western society. Specifically, it contains examples of the art-tool technique being put into practice. The visual compositions presented are the result of extensive participatory research in the cities of Palermo (Italy), Siena (Italy), Edinburgh (Scotland) and Adelaide (South Australia). In particular, between these cities, some common elements emerged. These include an observed dualism between self-identity and collectivity, a sense of loneliness within the urban context, and the portrayal of activities of buying and consuming.
