Il dolce sonno
I'm born on the 20th of June '73 in Milan. I always liked drawing as soon as I was able to hold the pen more or less correctly.
When I was fourteen I went to the art school and.... I almost stopped!
Luckily enough I met at last a teacher (and artist) that we can call so (Tullio Brunone), and he was the one getting me started with oil painting.
At eighteen the end of school, life, the need to have a proper income and other things on my mind made me stop painting.
In different periods I've been interested in engraving, wood sculpture, graphic design and very much in photography and writing.
Professionally speaking I did a lot of different jobs, at the moment my ID says "IT programmer".
The idea of painting never let go of me anyway, even if sometimes I wanted to. Inspite of the lack of confidence in myself and failed attempts to get started again.
In 2000 I left Italy for love reasons!
I lived in a little island in the Irish sea (Isle of Man) where I wrote a book, and then I've been in Paris for three years and a half.
Since 2005 I'm living in Denmark...sort of stable life but in fact quite temporary.
In november 2006 I had a little Zoe thanks to an IFV treatment.
After that I said to myself "Now or never" and I started painting again.
Between diapers, mainly when she's asleep.
For this I'll never thank my husband enough, he helps to make this possible!
Being a mum is a huge thing, that's also why it is a strong topic in my paintings.
It is not the only one, life with its happy and bad moments, people I meet, fantasy and, my craziness, of course!
