My work is rooted in the language of abstraction—an emotional terrain where color, gesture, and intuition converge. As a painter trained in both New York and Italy, I draw upon a deep respect for classical foundations while continuously pushing toward the uncontainable. I work primarily in oil, a medium that allows me to excavate, layer, and explore the unseen rhythms beneath the surface.

Though I am known for my abstract expressionist style, figures sometimes emerge—half-formed or mythic—like memories or spirits rising through the paint. They are never planned, only discovered. To me, painting is not just visual—it’s visceral. Where nothing is fixed, and everything breathes.
