Originally from Naples, Italy, I recently graduated from Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. I'm an illustrator and currently an apprentice tattoo artist at Dalmasjen Studio.
My practice explores the space between reality and imagination through layered compositions of line, organic forms, and vibrant colours. At the core of my work is the line itself, which functions as both structure and freedom, shaping dreamlike worlds where the tangible and the symbolic coexist.
I incorporate decorative motifs inspired by the Greco-Roman tradition and Eastern philosophies, blending classical and spiritual symbolism to create a sense of harmony and an aesthetic of escapism. Through this interplay between the real and the imagined, I invite the viewer to engage with my work not only as a visual experience, but also as a moment of contemplation.
A recurring focus of my practice is the female body, which I consider the purestexpression of art itself. Through surreal transformations and imagined anatomies, my figures become vessels of memory, desire, vulnerability, and self-discovery.

With this series of illustrations, I explore the delicate balance between the restorative power of sleep and the potential pitfalls of escaping into a dream world. By understanding this balance, we can better appreciate the importance of mindful rest and remain aware of the fine line between rejuvenation and escapism.
