Migration, displacement, mobility, identity are the central issues of interest. Through art practice, I aim to explore their positive and negative aspects, using as a starting point the personal, overall positive, enriching experience as an immigrant in the UK. In the process, the attention moves particularly to the broader topic of immigration, and its almost embedded negative perception. My practice has recently responded to this through references to ourselves as ‘rooted beings’, visually merging human and botanical. This opened a further reflection on identity, with references to prejudice/stereotypes and a particularly obsessive relationship with food.

The uncertainty of the future, particularly linked to Capitalism’s consequences, is another issue I have begun to explore, demanding even more attention given the current situation.

Intrigued by moving image, I mainly work within print, employing the qualities of etching, mono print, collagraph and lithography. Drawing also constitutes a key element, often related to the body and its language, with references to stereotypes and idioms, usually focused onto specific gestures or expressions. Materiality is very important to me and it relates to my Italian identity, as I have been working using pasta in the printing process.
