Merging paintings with sound, mixed media sculptures, video and site-specific installations, I alternate between the outward observation of social structures to an inward exploration of the human experience, often challenging notions of the commonplace by exploring unfamiliar angles.

As my work continues to evolve informed by my ongoing journey as a woman, an immigrant, and a grieving person, I become increasingly interested in the manifestations of endurance through concepts of light, darkness and transformation. Whether it’s in the power of plurality igniting social change, rituals of collective growth cultivated by targeted communities, survival mechanisms of self-preservation, embracing loss as living force to make sense of death; or by interconnections with nature and its ability to generate splendor from devastation. I strive to articulate a language that is visually stimulating and rich with personal emotions: both powerful and vulnerable; theatrical and intimate; visible and hidden, and to hold a space where these opposing forces find perfect harmony, as I think of contrasts and the coexistence of duality as tangible expressions of collective and individual truth.

For a decade now, my life in America has been gaining new shape and meaning, yet simultaneously, the influence of my Southern Italian heritage and personal upbringing are increasingly emerging, enabling me to fuse the two worlds together through unpredicted links and approaches. On one hand, the Greco-Roman past of my homeland featuring solemn temples and ruins trained my eye to a direct and symmetric archetype of beauty, becoming the native foundation of my work, on the other the multilayered essence of Los Angeles reminds me to look at what is hidden, strange, and unassuming, as a daily exercise to further deepen the versatility and open-mindedness I was exposed to since an early age, being raised in my family's campground in Pæstum; an immersive environment that facilitated the amalgamation of various creativities, identities and collectively shared expressions that influenced the multifaceted nature of my practice. At the end of every summer everyone in the campground would join forces in putting together sets, props and costumes for our “Night of the Temples” show, an historical play held on the beach, involving live acting, dancing, sound and lights to honor the glorious origins of our civilization. Life at our campground motivated me to pursue an artistic career with backgrounds in set design for theater, special effects makeup, and costuming, and it naturally grounded me to a multidirectional type of artmaking.

In recent years I have joined the board of directors for the Immersive Art Collective (IAC), a female-owned nonprofit organization based in Downtown Los Angeles, providing arts programs and practical job opportunities for creatives, youth, and underserved communities. There, I often employ my interdisciplinary approach for collective leadership through collaborative projects and initiatives.
