Vita / Life and Work

​

In the charming village of Herborn, nestled in the valleys of the Westerwald, I began my journey at the Johanneum Gymnasium. I completed my high school graduation in Giessen in 1998, setting the stage for a path rich in creativity and exploration.

My artistic development took me through the vibrant cities of Munich, Hamburg, and Mainz, where I studied and refined my craft. Alongside my passion for art, I pursued a career as a professional event manager assistant, specializing in fairs and congresses, and later earned a bachelor's degree in tourism management.

In late 2003, I returned to Italy for the second time and stayed for several months. It was within this breathtaking landscape, inspired by the energy and warmth of the Italians, that I rediscovered my true calling – painting.

Not long after, my first exhibitions took place in Italy, followed by shows in Germany, Switzerland, and Spain. Each experience, collaboration, and encounter enriched my artistic expression, reflecting the diverse cultures and places that became part of my story.

However, in 2008, life took a different turn. My mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of 49. For over 13 years, I put my artistic career on hold to support and care for her. This period deeply influenced my perspective on life and creativity, shaping my art with a sense of empathy, resilience, and emotional depth.

Since 2023, I have returned to my art, exhibiting and travelling and to let life surprise me with the beauty it still has to offer – after so many years of deep pain and relentless focus on limitations.
