Biografia

I am a healthcare professional, and painting has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. However, it was during the COVID-19 pandemic that this connection intensified: amidst the uncertainty and pain, painting became my refuge, my salvation, and my way of breathing.

My works revolve around the female face, an inexhaustible source of beauty, strength, and mystery. I am passionate about exploring the emotions hidden in a gaze, the story that can be read in features, the depth that eyes reveal when painted with the heart.

Through my paintings, I seek to convey the very soul of my models, so that each stroke becomes a bridge to the feelings they inspire. I want those who view my work not only to see a face, but to feel what those eyes both keep silent and, at the same time, cry out.
