STATEMENT
The artist is strongly linked to painting, collage, calcographic engraving, monotype and digital photographic manipulation, techniques that relate her decisive sign and chromatic components. Her work is on female identity, sometimes without prejudice but never ideological. The ancient is the basis for many of her works, the ultramodern is revealed instead in the linguistic overturn that breaks the images and leaves them floating in an aseptic or made of signs space. Her subjects come from the world of fashion. She gives a sensitive attention to the surface of her figures obtained by repeated overlapped color layers. The skin is not only the object, the theme, the texture, but the support on which she works, turning those surfaces into something alive. As if the paper or the canvas were interwoven with pores, due to an intrinsic need to breathe. it is important for her to find that impression of life that makes something more than a creation, and it makes it almost a creature. Recently she has discovered and cultivated a strong closeness with the world of the artist’s books and adopted them as an expressive medium. She has particularly approached the world of digital and of illustrated animation, so that she creates an hybrid between analogic and digital techniques, always looking for an aesthetic that creates a successful integration and a compromise between the two.
