Process

How a bespoke artwork comes to life

Hands sorting photos of an ancient tree, a stone bridge and cliffs beside a notebook of handwritten notes: the references for “The roots of the future”.
01

Listening

Tell me your idea and send me photos or measurements.

Pencil sketch of a tree by a river with an arched bridge, beside a watercolour study and swatches of the colour palette.
02

Sketch

Together we choose the preparatory drawing.

The painter working in oils on the tree's roots on an easel canvas, with the top of the composition still only drawn.
03

Creation

I prepare the support and create the piece in the studio.

The finished, framed “The roots of the future” resting on a wooden bench in a sunlit room.
04

Delivery

The finished piece arrives in your home.

The studio
Tra me stessa e me

"Nature is not a backdrop — it is a mirror. The trees I paint are a projection of myself."

Trained at the Istituto d'Arte «F. Russoli» and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, I weave classical glazing with engraved marks. I paint, engrave, teach.
