About my art: Let’s celebrate the beauty of the world and life through the Art of Details

In the folds of black and white, my art unfolds, telling stories of shadows, lights, thoughts, and emotions through paper and ink. The choice of these timeless tones is not just a stylistic preference but an invitation to deep attention, a gaze without distractions on the unfolding subject.

The power of this contrast not only captures the eye but opens a window to the imagination. Each piece becomes an open dialogue between the artist and the observer, an invitation to complete the work through one’s own experiences and perceptions.

Details and the pursuit of precision are the distinctive features of my creations, characterized by strong contrasts that paradoxically confer a unique elegance.

Subjects and Message: An invitation to Contemplation of the World

In my creations, subjects reveal themselves as chapters in a story that intertwines nature and emotions. I am guided by what intrigues me, what generates astonishment, and the stories that carve my path.

My extensive list of subjects pays homage to the unexpected wonders of our world, a kaleidoscope of elements to immortalize. Each creation is a small act of revelation, an open window to the beauty of life. Beyond shaping these visions, my purpose is to convey not only beauty but also the grandeur of the world around us. Every detail in my works is shaped with a meticulous search for detail and an almost morbid precision. It’s not hyperrealism, but a deep immersion into the underlying fabric of reality.

Through every stroke and every point, I aim to evoke a double “wow” in the audience: one for the emphasized and amplified beauty and another for the extraordinary meticulousness with which each element is forged within the artwork. Creation, often neglected in its complexity, deserves to be contemplated in every shade. With my works, I seek to channel the intrinsic magic of life, a magic hidden in every detail, inviting spectators to celebrate not only the artwork but also the extraordinary complexity of our universe.

Techniques and Artistic Exploration

My techniques range from Pattern, where the represented element takes on an abstract form iterated on the paper, to Line Art, where the softness of lines expresses elegance and the arrangement of lines closer or farther conveys the idea of shadow and light. With Stippling, dots transform into shading and texture, a constantly evolving technique that pushes me toward new challenges given the very fine stroke I typically use (dimensions ranging from 0.15 mm to 0.25 mm).

What ties together these different techniques, often combined within the same piece, is the idea that in every stroke and every point, the magic of life is hidden—a constant invitation to celebration. Every detail becomes a gateway to the beauty and complexity of our world, a tangible representation of the intrinsic magic that permeates every aspect of our existence. In this intricate fabric of lines, dots, and abstract forms lies the key to celebrating the richness and wonder of life.

Motherhood and Creativity: The Magic of Colors for Little Heroes

Becoming a mother has illuminated my desire to experiment with colors and illustrations for children because there is no greater and more authentic amazement than that of a child. In this journey, I have ventured into watercolor experimentation, through which I found a way to capture and share the magic of simple moments, the ones that make children’s eyes sparkle. Every stroke of color becomes a journey into fantasy, a way of telling tales of wonder and adventure. My works, designed specifically to enhance children’s rooms, seek to transform spaces into places of inspiration and joy, where the magic of creativity blends with the pure joy of our little heroes.

Biography: A Life Between Two Worlds

I was born on January 9, 1992, in Chisinau, Moldova. At the age of 13, driven by the pursuit of a better future, I joined my mother in Italy.

Here, I earned a degree in Computer Science from the University of Milan – Bicocca and began my career in the financial sector. However, the call of art has always been present, albeit in the background.

Despite the lack of a formal artistic education, drawing has always been my companion since the first strokes of a pencil. Initially focused on patterns, drawing was my refuge—a way to relax and give shape to my thoughts.

Only recently have I acknowledged that the dream of becoming a professional artist cannot remain locked away. Drawing, a faithful life companion, has never abandoned me, despite my attempts to conceal this part of myself for a long time.
