About this artwork
In this work, the figure seems bent by the weight of time, hunched and almost forgotten in the space around her. The dark tones and violent color contrasts evoke the shadow of abandonment, the loneliness of those who walk on the margins, invisible to the eyes of others.
Yet, among the broken lines and patches of light, one senses an intact dignity, a silent strength that endures. It is the wisdom of a lifetime, engraved in the folds of the body… and in the memory of the world. The work thus becomes a tribute to the resilience of the human being: fragile, wounded, but never completely defeated.

I have been active on the international art scene since 1999. My work has been selected and integrated by high-profile institutions, galleries, brands, and contexts globally, including Louis Vuitton, Henkel Schwarzkopf, Crédit Agricole, Bobst, JW Marriott Cannes, La Biennale di Venezia, and Galleria Cavaciuti Milano.
In 2005 I exhibited at the Stelline Foundation in Milan, marking the official entry of my works into the market with an institutional listing.
