Fin dall’adolescenza, l’arte ha sempre fatto parte della mia vita; cresciuta tra iquadri e le sculture di mio cugino -artista e scenografo - ho coltivato la passione per la decorazione e l’arte orientale.
Ho conseguito il diploma all’Accademia di Belle Arti di Ravenna e Milano nel corso di Decorazione con il Professor Giovanni Repossi e di Affresco e Restauro conservativo con il Professor Aurelio Morellato.
L’incontro inaspettato con Gianna Basso, decoratrice d’interni e artista, mi ha permesso di entrare in contatto col mondo della decorazione d’interni e della Calligrafia estremo - orientale.
Dal 2002 sono membro e allieva della scuola di Calligrafia e Sigillografia FeiMo Contemporary Calligraphy, condotta dai maestri Paola Billi e Nicola Piccioli. Da qui prende avvio la mia avventura in questa straordinaria forma d’arte.
La Calligrafia estremo - orientale mi ha aiutata a liberare le mie forme, inizialmente troppo precise e “costrette”, e a trovare un nuovo modo di esprimermi.
Il mio intento è di unire due realtà culturali estremamente diverse, Italia e Cina, dove la prima rappresenta un mondo essenzialmente legato alla materia, mentre l’altra è tradizionalmente più portata alla spiritualità, al distacco dai beni materiali.
Le immagini del mio mondo interiore prendono forma sulla carta di riso o sulla tela.
Questi frammenti di segni dipinti con inchiostro, vaganti nello spazio singolarmente, articolati l’uno nell’altro, prendono
vita e creano una realtà astratta, una realtà in cui le emozioni e i sogni prendono il sopravvento.
Le calligrafie spezzate (il passato) si trasformano in segni e forme di sogno (il presente), la materia si spezza e si trasforma.
Art has always played an important role in mylife. I had a painter cousin who was also a set designer. During the years of my adolescence my interest and admiration for his paintings and sculptures increased. As I grew up, my passion for internal decoration and oriental art increased.
Got my Diploma at the Academy of BeauxArts of Ravenna and Milan for Decoration with Prof.Giovanni Repossi and for Fresco and Conservative Restauration with Prof.Aurelio Morellato.
Gianna Basso, a painter and internal decorator, was an unexpected discovery to me. Meeting her alloweded me to deepen my understanding of internal decoration and Chinese Calligraphy.
In 2002 I became a student and member of the School of Calligraphy and Seal Carving FeiMo Calligraphy Contemporary, under the guidance of Paola Billi and Nicola Piccioli. My venture into this extraordinary form of art started there and then.
Oriental Calligraphy helped me to express myself freely. At the beginning, my signs were a bit too neat and “confined”, but they later converted into a new language.
My intent was to bring together two different cultures, the Italian and Chinese ones. Of course, we know that Italy essentially represents a material world while China is traditionally conceived as more spiritual and “detached” from materialism.
As the figures materialize on rice paper, canvas or silk, the “fractured” strokes are rearranged harmoniously as if in an apparent casual order in order to create a continuous re-elaboration of emotions.
The fragmented strokes float lonely, are linked one to another or, even yet, are isolated in one single space without boundaries. They create an abstract environment in which my emotions become awesome protagonists.
The broken lines that represent the past, become strokes that represent dreams, i.e. the present, exactly like matter breaks up and transforms – which is just what happens in our life – moment by moment.
