She was born in Santhia’ (Italy) in 1955. She obtained her artistic maturity at the Primo Liceo Artistico in Turin and attended the Turin studio of Prof. Romano Campagnoli, from whom she learnt engraving notions.
Among her most important achievements: she distinguished herself, arriving among the finalists in an exhibition in Milan, in the Premio Arte in 2001 and in 2004. She won the Olivero Prize in Saluzzo, the Artemisia Prize in Ancona, and passed the first selection in the BP Portrait Award. In 2015 she was among the finalists in the international competition Art Prize CBM – Premio Carlo Bonatto Minella and in 2016 she won the artist residency prize in the International Marchionni Prize.
She is enchanted by nonexistent time, the one erased by hurry
Her pictorial research focuses on portraiture and the movement of people in the most crowded places (supermarkets, stations, subways, city arcades), people who come and go, people from the big cities, Turin, Milan, Bologna, London, Paris, Hong Kong, ordinary people, businessmen, women, mothers, children, the elderly, the young; a testimony to the ‘human traffic’ in which we immerse ourselves daily.
In her works, a sense of loneliness is perceived through the empty spaces of the floors and streets in stark contrast to the frenetic movement of the people walking on them, people who do not meet, who do not converse, caught up as they are in their everyday problems.
