ABOUT MYSELF

My first encounter with contemporary jewelry is linked to my sister, who gave me a ring from a small Milanese shop for my twenty-first birthday. I still wear it today — a symbol of an unexpected beginning.

After graduating in Set Design from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts and spending many years working in the field of contemporary art, I discovered my vocation for jewelry. The encounter with the work of an extraordinary Viennese artist inspired me to explore the poetry of metal.

In spring 2020, I arrived at kunst.wirt.schaft—an intimate, creative space that immediately felt like home.

I create jewelry as reflections of moments, emotions, and relationships. Each piece grows from intuition and from the dialogue between art, nature, and material. I love experimentation, imperfection, and the infinite possibilities of the creative process.
