I grew up in Rome, in a home where conservative Catholicism and liberal humanism coexisted (un)happily. This led to surreal scenarios, like being sent to a Catholic  German nuns primary school where I adamantly defended the right to divorce and abortion as I was taught in my own home.

This extremely schizophrenic upbringing is the fertile humus for my artistic exploration: eternally caught between the sacred and the profane – the glorification of suffering, the obsession with the female virginal figure and the flesh and blood of the human body – I can't ever seem to escape from the Baroque religious imagery that was so present in my childhood visual landscape.
 

‘Her background as a dance performer as well as her refined visual sense as art director all contribute to give her work a visceral sense of storytelling, movement and place which combine to make multilayered and quietly dramatic images, striking as well as haunting.’
