My artwork is an exploration of human relationships through performance, photography and sculpture. I aim to show the profound beauty of each individual through movement and gesture.
I create casts directly on the skin to capture the essence of the body, not as a copy, but as a three-dimensional mirror of a personal story. My photographs reveal an authentic beauty in imperfection and the passage of time. Every detail becomes part of a visual narrative that tells the story of each individual’s life.
Each portrait celebrates human diversity and shows the fragility and strength of authenticity. Through my work, I invite viewers to reflect on the unexpected beauty that emerges when we look beyond the surface. I hope my work inspires a new way of seeing people and celebrates the richness of their unique experiences.

Il mio lavoro artistico è un’esplorazione delle connessioni umane attraverso la performance, la fotografia e scultura. Voglio mostrare la bellezza profonda di ogni individuo attraverso il movimento e la gestualità.
Creo calchi direttamente sulla pelle per catturare l’essenza del corpo, non come copia quindi, ma come specchio tridimensionale di una storia personale. Le mie fotografie rivelano una bellezza autentica nelle imperfezioni e nel passare del tempo. Ogni dettaglio diventa parte di un racconto visivo che parla delle storie di vita di ciascun individuo.
Ogni ritratto celebra la diversità umana, mostrando la fragilità e la forza dell’autenticità. Con il mio lavoro, invito gli spettatori a riflettere sulla bellezza inaspettata che emerge quando guardiamo oltre la superficie. Spero che le mie opere ispirino un nuovo modo di percepire le persone e celebrino la ricchezza delle loro esperienze uniche.
