I created Malala in 2019 after reading Malala Yousafzai’s autobiography, moved by her determination to defend freedom and the right of every girl and boy to receive an education.
Her fragmented face appears behind the bars of a symbolic prison. Across the breaking bars, I placed the words “I am stronger than fear”, making them part of the image itself. Her gaze confronts us as the structure that confines her fractures.
With watercolor and watercolor… pencils, I brought luminous yellows and reds into dialogue with deep violets and shadows. The contrast between the two sides of her face emerged while I was painting; only later did I recognize in it both the wounds of violence and a determination that violence had not created.
This finished work on paper became the preparatory study for my 2020 oil painting Malala. Stronger than Fear.

« In a time when superficial glances seem incapable of perceiving the nuances of life, I try to synthesize a thousand tensions of my feelings and those of the world. »
I am an Italian contemporary painter. Born in Southern Italy, I spent years moving through structures that did not represent me — economics degree, corporate work, even politics. Always searching for myself, and for freedom. At forty, painting emerged as a necessity, the place where the search for myself became a pictorial one. My language is the pictorial pixel — fragments of color applied with a palette knife, breaking down and recomposing images. Up close, the works appear abstract. Stepping back, figures, faces, and urban landscapes reveal themselves — unfolding connections and possibilities. Exhibited nationally and internationally, my works are held in private collections in Europe and the United States, and include a cover of musician Alphonso Johnson's album.
In a time that accelerates, simplifies, divides, and flattens, my art offers a space where complexity is value, fragment possibility, and sharing completion. A space where anyone can feel welcomed for who they are.
