The artist - Through painting, drawing, and sculpture, I explore the possibilities of a deep connection with the nuances of everyday life in contemporary society. In particular, across my research, I am interested in highlighting the importance of maintaining contact with reality through a critical gaze. Currently, I am investigating crucial issues, such as the concept of death and the idea of beauty, at the dawn of a new anthropological and cultural order defined by the growing symbiosis between humans and technology.
