I explore the relationship between the memory of nature and human memory. I use wood as a metaphor for human existence—a living material whose grain, knots, and natural markings bear witness to the passage of time, transformation, and the events that shape its growth, reflecting both the visible and invisible traces of human experience.
My practice exists between painting and sculpture and is rooted in a process of co-creation with the material. I work with the wood’s natural layers and interrupted grain, extending its organic lines or introducing geometric and painterly elements. Rather than imposing form, I reveal the material’s intrinsic structure, drawing inspiration from the legacy of Arte Povera and the poetic approach of Giuseppe Penone.
Through my work, I seek to give form to the silent memories we carry within us, inviting viewers to reconnect with nature and to reflect on the experiences, relationships, and transformations that shape our lives.
