This is a shop window I painted for Raft Furniture in St. Albans for the sustainable festival in 2019. I mainly used acrylics on glass.
This painting was commissioned to me by the Raft's owners for the Sustainable Festival as a campaign against the huge amount of plastic in oceans and seas and to raise awareness about the importance of recycling. This painting was made to become an installation/performance at the end, as people who were passing by the shop were invited to stick plastic bottles, cups, plates onto the glass window. The great wave by Hokusai was definitely the initial inspiration for this huge painting that I then modified to make it 20 metres long.
I am an artist, interior and fashion designer based in London.
My works have several dimensions and painting techniques and the chosen frames and backgrounds accurately reflect my imagination and creativity. I consider everything around me as a piece of art, not only nature becomes a boundless source of inspiration, but also architecture, fashion, photography and design. There is no contingency, every single detail is minutely treated and risen from experiences, memories, living moods and well aware studies.
I am addicted to colour and its shades, to lights and shadows. White is not always white and black can be something different with its various nuances. Geometrical patterns become flowers; spirals and round figures create faces and bodies. Each single element is also surrounded by the distinctive everlasting sentimentalism of the Italian art.
The paint brush is my tool to communicate to the world and I couldn’t express myself without painting. I am mainly a portrait artist and I love depicting my women with a dark perspective, teetering possibly on high heels to balance between chaos and order.
I mainly choose a stark black background to set a scene of drama and intrigue, my women are cubist vamp-like goddesses or divas, reminiscent of faded Hollywood glamour complete with monochromatic bouquets of flowers.
My technique matches daily objects with natural or fantastical elements in order to develop the perfect idea. A gothic air, punchy subjects and confident decorative scroll work are not dissimilar to the work of many tattoo parlours.
