>I am based in Florence. I am devoted to painting and fascinated by Italian Art. In 2016 I decided to realise my dream of being a professional artist and in Medici Florence, homeland and cradle of the Italian Renaissance, I studied visual arts painting at Florence Classical Art Academy and LABA Firenze where I studied perspective, achieving important pictorial results. In my painting, I am strongly influenced by the late 19th century French Impressionism of Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. In my exploration of impressionism I am attracted by the contrasts of light and shadow by the strong and vivid colours that fix the painters' sensations on the canvas. I love their quick brushstrokes and their preference for painting indoors in my studio. I am also very interested in the correlation between color and shape. I prefer vibrant color becuase it give me a sense of freshness, joy and brightness and I am strongly convinced that there is relationship between color and mood that is also subject ot external factors as well as our five senses.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Art is my passion and it is a channel for me to express my subconscious emotion and sentiment. I opt for using the vibrant colour on my canvas. As a matter of challenging and achieving the pictorial effect that appears in my mind, I explore different media, such as gold/metal leaf, air brush, alcohol ink and spray paint etc.
