About Me

Art school until 1978, and after school many painting courses, especially in fresco painting. Also many musical experiences in choral singing. Some painting exhibitions in Turin from 1980 to 1986, prevalently collective. An enthusiastic passion for sacred music, a lot of concerts in childhood (Turin's Children Choir, Turin's Polyphonic Women's Choir). 1986 - 1995 A long thoughtful period, searching in the deep of my soul for a Message to be expressed through music and painting. Simultaneously, a lot of energy involved in various advertising agencies as a graphic designer and art director. At the beginning of 1995 I started a spiritual and pictorial journey ; I left representational art to approach a new style, rich of archetypic symbols, and at the same time I was also studying the etymology, the root of words. The painting techniques changed, and I began to use glasses, plexiglass, transparencies, enamels and gold and copper leaf. Contemporaneously started two musical projects, Heat and XCR: from 1993 to 2000 we performed many gigs. In this period we collaborated creating soundtracks for Giulia Caira, photographer and videomaker, Motorangel (Heatseeker multimedial theather project) and the movie director Angel G. Villani. In 2000 my daughter was born, I restarted to paint with renovated energy and new inspiration. I discovered Marija Gimbutas's books, and the power of feminine. All my artistic production is based now on the reasearch on archetypic symbols of feminine. I started studying all the Mediterranean mithology with particular attention to pre-greek mithology, and all about Great Goddess and prehistoric female power. My references are Campbell, Gimbutas, Graves, Vicki Noble, Riane Eisler...

Lacrime per Benazir

Muore Benazir. Con lei muoiono molti sogni e molte speranze. Che la sua immensa forza si trasmetta a tutte noi, per continuare il suo cammino, inesorabilmente. Sempre e comunque verso la pace.
