Red – The wolf is still in disguise.
A woman walking alone in a big city always has to be aware of her surroundings, keeping her sense of alertness awake and conscious. Daydreaming is barely allowed.
‘Red’ and ‘White’ both works focus on the relationship between women and their often not so friendly outside world.
My work isn’t always about showing things exactly as they are. Instead, I like to spark thoughts and feelings by mixing contrasting ideas. Sometimes, I’ll use calm or serene images to tell a story that’s actually quite the opposite. Often, I’ll play with the titles of my pieces, adding elements that aren’t actually in the image, creating a thought-provoking dissonance.
White – Watch out, here I come
The bicycle holds a special empowering role, amplifying our sense of strength and freedom.
In the 1890s, it played a vital role in advancing the women’s movement, granting them newfound social mobility.
Today, in the 21st century, feminists in certain countries continue to challenge societal norms through the rebellious act of cycling.
In 2024, with 25% of the primary proceeds from my NFTs I support the #WomanLifeFreedom movement with donations to the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center, a non-profit and non-governmental organization for the promotion of human rights and democracy in Iran.

Suspended time
This series places the viewer in the presence of diluted landscapes with the aim of slowly instilling a contemplative state of mind.
Disguised as an appeal to tranquillity it has the arrogance to highlight, bringing them to the surface, all our inner anxieties.

Señor de los Milagros
This picture was shot in Milano, my birth town, but the festivity was all but Italian…
Señor de los Milagros: Every year in October, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from all walks of life participate in a religious procession honoring the image through the streets of downtown Lima (Peru). The procession route takes approximately 20 hours to complete.
In this case, it only toured the Milano city center in much less time.

These two works were minted as Genesis on Sloika.xyz and moved to Rarible when the photography marketplace announced its shutdown in Jan 2024.
AKIMS
This work is the result of an exciting collaboration with Estonian composer Mingo Rajandi.
We had been looking forward to doing something together for a while. When she saw the “A knot in my stomach” still piece, she expressed interest in adding her music to it.
Obviously I could not just let her intense soundscape sit on a still image so I worked on a new, visual motion to bring the whole work… into a new space.
AUDIO ON please.

Sequences – of the creative potential of the city
After the pandemic I needed a new project that would bring me OUT, amongst people.
I’ve always been interested in street photography and to photograph people, but my own camera shyness didn’t let me take stolen pictures, I felt terribly awkward doing it. The Sequences project’s technique gave me this opportunity, keeping a certain distance and creating images where the single individual is not recognizable, it allowed me to introduce people in my work.
Flâneuse was chosen for the Artcrush event in Paris at IhamNFT Gallery (06/23) and was shown for the Belle Epoque Collective Expo in Craiova, Romania, for the 120th anniversary of the Nicolae Romanescu Park, (09/23). The printed version was shown at the Artcrush Gallery first opening exhibition in Brussels (07/23). In 2024 it was part of a selection for billboard public displays in Brussels and Hong Kong. Printed version available here.
Some time ago I discovered the term ‘flaneur’, while reading a book by Emile Zola, it immediately resonated with me, aimlessly strolling the city… that is one of the things I like best.
When I gave the title to my first image, Flâneuse, I researched the term online and discovered a book by Lauren Elkin that used the same word as title, I immediately bought it. It pointed out, among a lot of other things, how women were not even allowed to go walking alone around the city up until very recently. Even here in Europe. There are many places where they still cannot.
Sequences is dedicated to them, the women that cannot walk alone for safety, cultural or religious reasons.
Sequences got a nomination by FAPA 2023
