Artist Statement

"My artistic research consists in the study of the costumes of various historical eras applied to the faces of contemporary life. This investigation begins with the fifteenth century and continues progressively over time, with the aim of reaching our century."

"The artistic technique that I am interested in exploring is egg tempera, a technique that initially corresponded to the one with which the artists of the time used to paint, but which I will continue to use even in more recent times, to confer uniformity and maintain a common thread that binds all the jobs."
