About
Creativity, research, curiosity and the need to challenge myself with different artistic languages. These are the highlights of my artistic path.
I believe that only art can fly where nothing else can.
I was born on 6th August 1966, and lived in Trieste (Italy) until 2009. Now I live and work in Škrbina, a small village in the heart of Kras (Slovenia). I studied with Master Savo Sovre in Ljubljana (Slovenia), and completed the training course in the Practical Therapeutic use of Colour in Milano (Italy). I am an eclectic and curious artist.
Through painting, I explore and examine the link between Nature’s energies and the spiritual world. I have no interest for reality, rather the perception of its essence.
Through illustration I express my playful and childlike side. I collaborate with Italian and Slovene publishers and with children magazines.
I hold seminars on drawing and colour and on book animation for children, along with courses and workshops for adults on the use and the perception of colour. I have taken part in many national and international art shows and have had over thirthy personal art exhibitions.
