"Through drawing, I aim to capture the immediacy of a sensation and its fleeting nature. The gesture, without the superimposition of paint, becomes brutal yet precise in defining the ephemeral. The mark - intentional and unintentional - is central to my work and part of my research focuses on how to preserve its immediacy and expressivity on different surfaces and within different media. Moreover, I am interested in how different materials and tools influence the expression of a same content, revealing different aspects of it. This subject is further analysed in relation to the spatiality of the work, in particular with sculpture that, both for its tridimensional nature and for the length of its process, forces me to observe the subject from different perspectives and for a longer time. The way a work is installed also has a phenomenological connection with its content, by opposing or enhancing it, in order to add another layer of reading to the artwork.

I deliberately choose materials that are technically considered as preparatory and potentially impermanent - as charcoal, pastels, clay, raw canvas, plaster - as I think that their nature mirrors the one of my subjects. The inherent fragility and the the deliberate misuse of a certain material have an expressive value per se. In my work the figurative element clash with the immateriality of its true subject as much as the materials are used in direct contrast with their expectations of durability and appropriateness. My practice is in fact not propelled by a need of simplification, but it thrives in the complexity and inconsistencies of its own subject."
