ABOUT ME

I originally trained in painting, drawing, and architecture at IUAV in Venice. From 1991 to 2010 I worked in architecture while exhibiting paintings and drawings in Padua, Milan, and Turin. In 2008 I began experimenting with printed paper recycled from magazines, newspapers, and catalogs. By 2010 I dedicated myself fully to crafting paper-based artworks.

My Materials & Technique

I use repurposed paper sourced globally, often donated locally by newsstands, print shops, or private individuals. Every sheet is selected for its color, texture, and thickness. My creative process blends digital tools (scanners, precision cutting machines) with traditional craftsmanship. I employ origami, kirigami, paper weaving, and invented techniques to build both 2D and 3D collages.

Themes & Meaning

Printed paper—once a vessel for consumer messaging—lets me explore the themes of identity, consumption, memory, and the impermanence of things. Through portrait and abstract work, I invite viewers to look beyond the visible, to see how discarded materials carry stories, and to consider sustainability, environment, and privacy.

What Drives My Work

I believe in the beauty of imperfection and the possibility of transformation. Paper, with all its flaws, becomes something new—something tactile, sculptural, alive. My aim is that each piece not only decorates a space, but also sparks thought, connection, and change.
