Dystopian ​creatures

The theme of my work is the human body, which for me is sacred and ​dignified in all its variations: because it emanates from the very breath of ​life, it must absolutely be respected and protected as the seat of our ​indivisible and inviolable dignity.

Unfortunately, the reality is different, and I'm interested both in the ​wounds as traces of the vulnerability of the human being and in the ​possible deformations in which people can be trapped. Who feel trapped in ​a form of existence that they have not chosen. The beings I have created ​oscillate between anthropomorphic, zoomorphic and other biological ​manifestations. They are recognisably somewhere between the animal ​kingdom and man, unique and dystopian beings.

Physical and mental deformation go hand in hand.

In this sense, my works are metaphors: they are bodies that have perhaps ​suffered violence, that have been reified. Or beings who simply have to ​make do with their amorphous form of existence: because no one can ​escape the restrictions imposed on them.
