Born in Bagnolo Mella (BS) in 1958.

Painting has always exerted a strong attraction on her. Since adolescence, she has favored vivid, vibrant color palettes. After graduating in Architecture and Interior Design, she approached porcelain painting, training with American and Japanese masters.

She later moved to oil on canvas, initially focusing on landscapes with a Neo-Impressionist sensibility – a transitional phase essential to the development of her poetic language.

Her practice then evolved toward the exploration of the animal world, depicting subjects of powerful presence – lions, rhinoceroses, tigers, panthers, elephants – rendered through an increasingly material, dense, and tactile approach to painting. The palette knife became her primary tool, enabling an expressive investigation aimed at moving beyond figuration. At the same time, she deepened her work in portraiture, probing psychological dimensions to the point where form gradually dissolves, giving way to a pictorial language in which color and matter take center stage.

Her research is grounded in chromatic balance and the intensity of gesture. The work emerges from an immediate impulse, free from rational construction – a process in which presence and absence alternate, revealing a dimension that is both instinctive and ethereal. Emotional engagement with the subject translates into a subtle tension that becomes the driving force of creation.

Oil on canvas is her medium of choice, allowing for depth, luminosity, and durability over time. Her works are distinguished by a strong material quality, at times approaching three-dimensionality, capable of conveying an immediate expressive intensity.

Rather than pursuing conventional notions of “perfect & beauty”, her work seeks to create images endowed with character, in which color and material assert themselves powerfully to the viewer’s eye, defining a personal and recognizable pictorial language.
