Art has always been a part of my life.
My grandparents’ home, where their artist friends gathered, was my first museum, filled with surrealist, expressionist, and abstract works.
Very early on, I turned to studying visual arts, before broadening my creative horizons to other techniques and materials, particularly textiles, which led me to fashion design.

Very early on, I turned to studying visual arts, before broadening my creative horizons to other techniques and materials, particularly textiles, which led me to fashion design.
My creative drive then led me into the world of the performing arts. I joined director Franco Dragone, who was looking for a costume designer for his famous productions. For seven years, I traveled the world and collaborated with artists from all disciplines, satisfying my curiosity, refining my aesthetic sensibility, and developing a keen eye for detail.
All of this gave me the opportunity to forge my own vision of art, one that drives me today to reinvent its conventions. Having sometimes felt out of place when stepping into a cold, silent gallery where everything is frozen in time, I dreamed of a place where everyone would feel welcome. I aim to foster an uninhibited dialogue between artists and those interested in art who have never dared to buy it, by showcasing the works and the worlds of emerging artists.
I am convinced that the world needs VITRINE, and that is why I am dedicating myself to it with energy, passion, and determination.
