What’s the best thing I love about my job? The best thing I love about my work is to express my vision of the world through images: to create new parallel worlds and to tell silent stories, where those who look at my art can imagine what they want.

What is my idea of perfect happiness? My idea of happiness is the possibility to spend the time how we want: time to create, see new places, think, share all that with the people we love. Many people think that happiness is money, but it is wrong. When we pay something, we do not pay it with money but with the time of our work. We are so busy earning money that we forget to live. Time is money, but money is not the time.

What is my biggest fear? Disappoint the people I love and that have always believed in me.

What is the trait that I deplore most in myself? Be anxious: anxiety often leads to having useless negative thoughts, but I’m trying to improve.

Which living people in my profession do I admire the most? Marina Abramovic and Rabarama.

What is my biggest extravagance? Always wanting the opposite of what others want. This is good, because there is little competition!

On what occasion should I lie? In order not to hurt someone, good lies are sometimes a form of kindness (not always)

What is the thing I do not like most in my work? Unfortunately in Italy, people tend not to perceive the artistic professions as a real job. And this is the thing that I like less.

When and where have I been the happiest in my job? When I meet someone who really appreciates my art, whatever the place, I feel really happy.

If I could, what would I change about myself? My approach to life sometimes tends to be a bit “heavy”. I would like to have a simpler and easier point of view.

What is my biggest achievement at work? WHEN I SEE PEOPLE understand MY ART, it is always a success for me.

Where would I like to live more? I like Italy, but I would like to travel very often all over the world.

What is my most precious treasure? The people around me who love me and support me.

What is my most marked feature? I have many characteristics, but the two strangest but that work together are the resourcefulness and a healthy laziness: the moments of resourcefulness give me the opportunity to always throw myself on projects and competitions, while the moments of laziness allow me think about new works. while in the artistic field my works are always charatterized with real and surreal elements, often setting magical creatures in real environments.

What is my most inspiring position in my city? the covered bridge and the Visconti’s Castle! in Pavia

What is my favorite place to eat and drink in my city? I love Japanese food: the restaurants Mori and Hayashy are my favorites!

Which books have influenced my life and how? “Artemisia’s passion” is undoubtedly the book that struck me most. For me it is an immense source of admiration. the courage of women who had launched themselves into artistic professions years ago, despite the machismo of the time, has always had a great fascination for me.

Who are my favorite writers? Stephen King, Jane Austen and Susanne Goga!

You only die once. What music would I like to listen to on my last day? “Memories” of Andrea Tonoli.

Who is my hero or heroine in fiction? wonder woman, black widow

Who are my heroes and my heroines in real life? People who are not afraid to do altruistic gestures without wanting anything in return.

Which film would I recommend seeing once in a lifetime? Midnight in Paris and La La Land.

What role does art play in my life and in my work? a fundamental role: with art I can express myself and at the same time transmit messages. I can tell others about my worldview. My art is an integral part of my work. Sometimes people ask to be contextualized in my works, in my woods or in my cities. To become elves or mermaids, to escape reality.

Who is my biggest fan, sponsor, partner in crime? My best friend.

Who would I like to work with in 2018? with artists from other sectors, especially with musicians.

Which people in my profession would I like to meet in 2018? probably Pipilotti Rist.

What project, in 2018, can not wait to work? I have several projects in mind, including “helping” with my art.

Where can you see me or my work in 2018? The first appointment is from 12 to 13 May 2018 at Paviart, Palazzo Esposizioni (Pavia), a market dedicated to modern and contemporary art. https://www.deaservizi.it/eventi/paviart

What do the words “Passion Never Retires” mean to me? it means that the love we have for the things we really like will accompany us throughout our lives. We can get tired of everything but not of our passions.
