Starting to take pictures just to the pleasure I did have taking them, I've always tried to represent emotions, desires, pleasures and feelings.


I'm considering my Works as a kind of secret Diary where, instead of writing my feelings, dreams and my life events, I do freze frame them in a picture and instead of lock them, hiding from other ones eyes, I expose them.


It ís an hard task to communicate feelings with a doll, and I love doing this:

While you are trying to give them a feeling you know that what they will express in the pictures it is only what you forced them to express:

A doll can not move by herself, cannot smile, cry, change the position of her body, the expression of the face and so on.

It is you doing all these things in her place, so she can be a simply object in your hands ( and with object we can consider the meaning of this word in a psychoanalitic way: a person other than the self ) or a self extension.


I shoot when I have the feeling that it will be represented by my pictures: that is the reason why I can take many pictures in the same period and then refusing to take  a single shot for weeks.

In my pictures, as in my real life, I always refused the perfection: perfection is so terribly cold.

Freud said that if you scratch the surface of every virtues you will find the vice, and vice versa.

I simply show my vices ( real or just imaginated) , so someone can, scratching them, find my virtues.


Sometime the dolls are my alter-ego and sometime Iam the alter-ego of the dolls.

While someone thought that in my Work can be found something polemic about what it is going on in the world,

the focus of my pictures is the emotions, most of all: and the emotions are always the same from centuries:

Love, passion, sadism, masochism, sorrow, pleasure, hate, hunger, rage, regret, feticism: they have always been with the humans.

Maybe the external frame is changed, but the inner feeling is always the same.

So I take inspiration from my precounscious only : and to and with the precouscious I am trying to talk.

I loved to see how certain pictures of mine has been interpreted by the viewers following their same inner world, or to better say, projecting in them their precounscious and their feelings.

Things that are in the precounscious are not clear and not always the same: so I like to think that everyone can put inside my pictures what they are feeling.

My feelings and other persons feelings, here what influences my works: and I love this.


I've always loved any form of Art and I approached it as only a passionate lover would do: not forced to study it,  but loving it.

I felt the Art standing hours ammirating the Artist's Works and looking for them in Worldwide Museums more than spending hours only on books.

And from time to time, the most emotional met is arrived suddendly, without waiying for it, and it has been in this way that I did fall in love with Louise Bourgeois' , Marlene Dumas' and Sophie Calle's Works.

So, while I really can't quote an Artsit as my preferrred, I must admit that the ones I love the best are the ones that transmitted me emotions that I felt in a deep way.


Actually I mainly expose my Works in Milan in the Art Gallery Famiglia Margini with the support of my Human doll, Grace Zanotto.

In the next future my Works will be Exposed in many others galleries that are actually preparing the exhibitions.


About my Works, I am working on the project of mixing up a little bit more the pictures that I shot of myself with the pictures I have made to the dolls, just to underline the concept as a doll can be confused with a woman, if the Artist feeling is strong enough, and a woman with a doll, meaning with doll something that deserves and gets attention, love and devotion.
