When did you first become interested in art?
Well, since I was young, I always loved to draw, then definitely during my studies of architecture & design at university.
How would you describe your design style?
I define my style minimal-eclectic with a touch of scandinavian mood, I like to mix raw concrete and marble with pink blush, black or white, More, I really in love with gem and minerals like agates or amethysts.
What inspires you?
I find my inspiration everywhere, but I especially look for raw textures; my camera is always with me to capture pictures of building materials as concrete or marble, then I add geometric shapes and mix all!
What is your favourite piece in your collection?
A hard question, maybe Painting on Raw Concrete is closer to me.
Is there any artistic talent in your family?
Yes, my sisters also loves design and art, and now she works in cultural heritage, while my boyfriend is an architect like me!
What is the journey you take to produce your work?
My first step is photography, with pictures of every texture or material that inspires me. Then I mix materials and textures with geometric shapes to reach the image that I have in mind.
What made you want to be a part of Art Rookie?
Art Rookie has some beautiful and unique products and your plates are astonishing!
When you’re not creating masterpieces what do you enjoy doing?
I love to stay into the wild; exploring countryside in autumn or winter, make trekking on mountains or go to the sea during spring and summer.
Have you faced any struggles getting your work noticed?
Well, every day, through my socials, I share my works all around the world.
Where would we find you hanging out in the UK?
Probably in London, a city where past, present and, why not? Future are together in a really fascinating way.
What makes British talent different than elsewhere?
Probably the historical background mixed with a little of oddity and humorism!
What are your plans for the rest of 2016 and 2017?
I don’t like to make plans… live from day to day is my philosophy!
