About me
"I see, I feel, I smell, I think, I draw, I paint, I engrave" could be the expression of my creative approach: my curiosity leads me to forge unusual alliances between different materials and techniques, mixing drawing, painting and engraving, starting from the ordinary traces observed in the nature that surrounds us, in particular the world of mosses.
My artistic approach is a combination of personal, sensory expression and an interest in the aesthetics of sobriety based on clean lines. Starting with an attention to detail - similar to that of a young child marvelling at the small elements of nature - my pictorial language tends philosophically towards the universal, the timeless.
I'm particularly interested in the micro-world of mosses, plants with no roots, flowers or stems, a tiny ecosystem that is nonetheless capable of covering huge areas at all latitudes. These mosses, if you really take the time to look at them in detail, are incredibly diverse and extremely fine. They also have the ability to muffle sound while enveloping us in silence, as when the snow falls.
My works don't describe moss in precise terms, but try to approach its deepest essence with humility. They are imbued with a fascination that dates back to when I was a little girl, carefully making soft, fresh moss carpets in the undergrowth. As an ode to their diversity, my painted and/or engraved drawings modestly reveal the delicacy, movement and beauty of an unknown, mysterious universe, just as our inner world sometimes is.
Going in search of buried metal, digging it up, even when it disappears under a layer of dark paint, is like a call to vigilance in the face of our humanity, which is sometimes so unaware of the beauty that surrounds it. The engraved metal then reappears like a light in the night, a subtle light from the earth, discreet in the attention it asks us to pay to it...
For those who fall in love with mosses, the world is illuminated by a new, tiny window...
It is my dearest wish that this window will be opened to you through my creations.
