I’m a visual artist based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, focused on oil and watercolor figurative symbolic and semi-abstract contemplative art. My painting practice is a journey of self-discovery. It is a form of meditation and introspection that helps me connect to my inner world and translate my emotions and reflections on life into my paintings.

To reduce my environmental impact as much as possible, I paint with eco-friendly materials such as water-soluble oil paints, botanical inks, handmade watercolors made of natural pigments, and recycled materials.

Besides my painting practice, I have 15 + years of experience in education, IT, and creative industries, for example, I used to work as a teacher, translator, onboarding specialist, customer success manager, team leader, textile designer etc.

I hold a BE in the Italian Language and Literature and have completed several advanced painting courses.
