About Me
Nata in Sicilia, vivo in Veneto. Inizio a sperimentare come autodidatta, poi seguo alcuni importanti workshop fotografici. L’incontro con Franco Fontana nel 2015 dà il via ad una serie di lavori che vengono esposti dallo stesso Fontana nelle collettive “Fontana e quelli di Franco Fontana” a Milano nel 2016, il progetto “Sintonie”, e a Foggia Fotografia 2018, la serie “The Deepest Part”, che ha inoltre ricevuto la menzione d’onore all'International Photography Award e una nomination al Fine Art Photography Awards 2018-19. Alcuni lavori sono stati pubblicati nei volumi 2 e 3 di “Il corpo solitario: l’autoscatto nella fotografia contemporanea" del critico d’arte Giorgio Bonomi, un altro scatto è conservato presso l’Archivio Nazionale dell’Autoritratto Fotografico, presso il MusInf di Senigallia. Ho esposto il progetto “Ore perplesse” nella collettiva di “Trevignano Fotografia 2020” e i progetti “Krisis” e “C’è una crepa in ogni cosa” a Bassano del Grappa in una personale aprile-maggio 22. Con quest’ultimo lavoro ho vinto il primo premio alla Lettura portfolio di Veneto Fotografia 2022 a Treviso e ho ricevuto una nomination al Fine Art Photography Awards 2022-23.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Photography is my main tool of expression and I usually work with it digitally but lately also printing and processing it, tearing and/or adding other materials such as water, coffee-tea and other naturally dyed paper. These blends have been the focus of my last work “Krisis”. My point of view is poetical and sensorial, being the works meant to convey my deep emotions and urgencies. My conceptual basis is built on self-portrait as a means of self-exploration and link with nature, beauty of natural forms and harmony of shapes. I usually love light neutral colours, natural light and make large use of negative space. When I work with landscapes my aim is to remind me of how I felt there, so they are not descriptive but rather dreamy childlike memories.
