PAINTINGS

​

Since 2005 my paintings are dedicated to environmental, pollution and sustainability themes using classical painting techniques and Upcycling of paper from wastes.

​​

Paper and paperboard saved from wastes in my Upcycling mixed media technique are used as base material, in many paintings metallic colors are used to focuse the value of the wasted paper.

​

First collection  of paintings realized with this Upcycling technique was "Environment", dedicated to pollution, exhibited in 2008 at the VAM Design Gallery in Budapest.

 

Following the collection "Rifili", presented in Rome in 2013, was dedicated to industrial toxic wastes, all the painting of this collection were made with the filling packaging paper of a box saved from the street, many paintings dedicated to major disaster due to uncotrolled spills.

 

In 2014 the collection "Leonia e le città invivibili" was presented with a catalogue referring to "Leonia", the Italo Calvino "invisible citiy" invaded by it's wastes, an incredibly premonitory story.

​

Other following collections realized in the same Upcycling mixed media on canvas are "Urban Delirium" inspired by Anselm Kiefer installation "I sette palazzi celesti" and "Climate Change" watching at the catastrophic events due to climate change .
 

Since 2018 I created also limited and numbered collections of oils on canvas even on the issue of Cities Unsustainability (City, Black City) and  pollution of the environment (Prussian Blue).

  BIJOUX

​

With the same motivations and with the same Upcycling techniques, I also create fashion design jewels, made with found waste items  and recycled paper and cardboard.

​

This bijoux are precious objects created for women who can understand that the value of a jewel is based on the creative idea and not on the preciousness of the material.
