Works at the intersection of

Italian artist based in madrid.
• Commissioned Wall Sculptures • Studio originals • Analog Photography
• For interior designers, architects and collectors.
Pieces that bridge past, present and future.
Original works exploring time, memory and material transformation.
From intimate photographic works to monumental sculptural commissions.
Existing works can become the starting point for commissions adapted in scale, material and proportion to individual spaces.
Commissioned Artworks
I create specific artworks or series on commission (from 30 cm up to 3 meters tall) for interior designers, architects, and private collectors, developed in response to the character of the space while maintaining the artistic language of my practice.
Throughout my career, I have also worked on artworks and large-scale projects for top-tier artists including Manolo Valdés and Cristina Iglesias.
Material Language
I work across materials and techniques, constantly testing how a process can be pushed further and how new forms of expression can emerge from it. Combining my photography with my material practice.
These works serve as a starting point for specific commissions, allowing the ideas and material language developed in the studio to be translated into architectural spaces.
Fine Art Photography
I think of my photographs as Visual Poetry: places, people and fragments of life captured before they disappear, preserving the atmosphere and emotion of the moment.
I primarily work with analog photography, drawn to its tactile quality and organic grain. The unpredictability of the medium becomes part of the process, I never really know how a photograph turned out until the film is developped.
Selected Projects
Before developing my independent studio practice, I worked as creative sculptor on the production of large-scale works for internationally recognized artists, including Cristina Iglesias and Manolo Valdés.
