I am a visual artist from Turin (Italy), have been living in The Netherlands since 2020 and currently based in The Hague.
Within my practice buildings and places that have existed for decades tells stories to me. Even in their decay, they remain archives of human experience, reflecting the idea of spaces as entities that carry memory and stories long after their original purpose has ended.
Image reproduction, memory, and the spaces I inhabit serves as a form of archive. Radical restoration techniques such as strappo, painting, and sculpture echo throughout my practice, often coming together into large-scale installations. Moving to the Netherlands, I've started perceiving spaces as transactional entities that somehow shape the elusive feeling of “home,” where the notion of mobility has become a driving force. Fragments of architectures embody temporary dwellings, truncated yet “whole”.
Recently, I’ve begun incorporating fictional narratives, sound, and non-visible
materials such as UV pigments. These mediums are intertwined, and allow me to develop a visual language to reimagine spatial memories.
Preservation is a continuation of materials—an act of care that navigates the
complexities of reproduction in today’s shifting realities.
To me it is a form of resilience.
