“I believe art has meaning only if it improves the world, even a little, even in silence.”

I.

The Lead

A heavy, ancient material. Sheets modeled by hand, without molds: no copies, no way back.

II.

The Gesture

A slow, meditative, almost alchemical process. Every fold keeps the mark of the hand.

III.

The Seals of Light

Drops of tin applied one by one: a metallic dew that transmutes metal into light.

2024A sculpture donated to Pope Francis, with a letter of thanks from the Vatican

2026Featured in “100 Artisti d’Italia”, Vol. 02 — Culturale Lab
