I'm a research geologist and self-taught artist. I'm originally from Veneto and live in Monfalcone for work. I prefer using colored pencils to represent the environment around us.

 

My work aims to celebrate the landscape, highlighting on the one hand the beauty, grandeur, and strength of nature, and on the other its fragility, which makes it vulnerable to human-induced transformation. Humanity is almost always absent in my works; their legacy is evidenced by occasional paths or ruins that have now become part of the landscape, testifying to a distant past when humans were closer to the natural environment. My depiction of nature's beauty, therefore, aims to highlight what we undervalue today and what we risk losing forever.

My expressiveness also includes a realistic and detailed style, a play of light and shadow that demonstrates the dynamism of the weather, all designed to transport the observer into the landscape itself and instill a sense of peace.
