I am a visual artist specialized in engraving, illustration, and performance. My practice investigates the materiality of the body, memory, and everyday objects through drawing, printmaking, and mixed techniques. With experience in artistic and educational spaces, I have developed a sensitive eye for observation and body expression. I create visual narratives for cultural and commercial clients, manage my portfolio and social media, and explore performance and live drawing as artistic research tools. Based in Rome, I collaborate across Italy and Colombia.
