Born in a small seaside town in Southern Italy, I have always had innovative ideas and a desire to explore the world, despite struggling with anxiety and lack of self-confidence. After spending my teenage years quite isolated, immersed in anime, Japanese films, and music, I followed that curiosity by studying Japanese in Rome and later spending a year in Japan. Leaving everything behind was challenging, but it became a turning point in my personal growth and self-discovery. After returning, I realised Italy wasn’t the right place for me at that time, and I moved to London in search of new opportunities. While I initially found a corporate job aligned with my studies, I soon understood that lifestyle didn’t suit me and began to feel unfulfilled again. During the pandemic, I discovered the value of a slower pace of life, and it was in this period, in April 2020, that my artistic journey began. Through art, I found a way to transform challenges into opportunities. Today, I am a fine artist working with oil and mixed media, currently developing my practice through the Milan Art Institute Fine Art Mastery Programme and continuing to grow into my identity as a professional artist.
