Neapolitan by my father, steeped in church icons,
and French through my mother, rooted in the elegance of Parisian chic,
I grew up in a small Swiss village where, dressed in Pierre Cardin, I stood out.
Fashion quickly became both my armor and my vulnerability.
Mocked for my clothes, I learned how much appearance shapes the way we look.
Then art changed everything: my fragility became a creative force.
For me, fashion is a social mirror revealing how an era perceives women.
From Botticelli to Kim Kardashian, the icons change but the questions remain.
Trained by a renowned Swiss artist before joining ECAL, I exhibited in Geneva and London from 1999.
Now based in the Emirates,
I paint on fabrics chosen in the souqs: memory, skin, symbol of a celebrated and powerful femininity.
