Eyelashes

I’ve always been interested in everyday life, as I tend to spot beauty everywhere I look (I can also see a lot of misery, I just do not focus on that in my art practice) and I was so happy when my dear friend (and artist) Lynda Keeler took me to “One day at a…

Here’s my agenda

This year I have been asked to donate two artworks for Gesco diary: “Agendo 2021 oltre l’infinito (beyond infinity)” and I’d like to tell you more about what’s behind my art.

Autumn vibes

I was commissioned a portrait of a couple, set in Victoria Park Sunday Market, and the brief was: “Autumn or Winter vibes”…

We hate pink

Some of the illustrations I made for We hate pink, a new company whose “goal is to improve gender and age diversity and to shape a dynamic workplace. We Hate Pink plans to introduce graduates into the creative industry and help companies to find new rising stars.” I’m so happy to be part of it! Make…

A very short post today, just to say that I’ve made this drawing inspired by a visitor in the gardens of one of my favoutire museums in  London: The Geffrye Museum of the home which is now closed for a two-year development, reopening in early 2020, but there are many events in the front garden like the ones…
