Born in Tuscany, I started my first art experiences in a carpenter artisan dad's workshop.
In the time, thanks to the contact of my dad's artist friend, I started to be interested to the painter art and ceramic. During the Classical Hight School I understod the importance of the Mediterrean arts and with the studies of philosophy and psychology I started to made my personal art research. Fashinated abouth the alchemists work I would to try to find an art synhesis between painting, sculpture and metal work that could explain the relationship between body and soul.

Abouth me by ARSEV:

“ The artist by means of her poetry, leads us to explore a deep and long study and relationship with the unconscious. She's art inquiry it is founded on the principles of the ancient alchemists and color ranges from materials and new technical. Her creations of various origins and development, are the manifestation of her being and becoming. ..,,
