«...I have created a Pulpa Chic World in which the observer dives into a space of sensuous visual ­opulence. The works are partly quilted (“meaty”) object-paintings using cloths and acrylic paint. They have a sort of “pop prefabricated beautiful look” that reflects today’s values and way of life, in which ­nature is often modified to achieve the ultimate desired artifical perfection...»

Installation «Violenza»
Memory is the great legacy of our time, often lacking in security and absolute truths, where one becomes witness to a deterioration of existence into cold loneliness and big-city neuroses and where physical and psychological violence is so common that it often goes unnoticed.

“Violenza”, a series of heads, leads the observer to reflect about those things that are concealed behind false facades and that – as signalled by the wax used as the material – dissolve so easily. These are all individual pieces modeled in raw clay and covered with wax. Some have writings scored into them – writings that make reference to madness. These pieces are joined by two black and white photographs representing “Alice e Infanzia felice” (“Alice and the Happy Childhood”) and two heads from the previously mentioned series, which the artist has covered with informal painting communicating a physicality in strong, primary colours - red, white, and black.
But it is the four masks, lying on their bed of white tulle, that are a symbol of purity. They are pierced by nails pounded into the wax in the area of the eyes, the mouth, the ears, and the forehead, thus forming a true crown of thorns. Using this violence that is indirect but indelible, the artist symbolizes purity and innocence that has succumbed to rape.

Her sculptures show that which remains hidden to conscious thought and they reveal the traumatic experiences that the ego has repressed.

Thus the wounds inflicted on the masks become the metaphoric expression of psychological violence in children’s upbringing and in that social repression that especially women and children are subject to.

The wound that is pictorially represented in the photographs that have been changed using strong, decisive brushstrokes becomes a facilitator between the thought and the emerging word, a means of uniting the past and the present without differences imposed by time in order to penetrate the very depths of sensitivity.
