Bio

Fine Art photographer, graduated in architecture, she undertook a theatrical career as an actress and director and this influenced her approach to photography. Years of study and enthusiasm, she is curious about everything, she observes reality by investigating the light - the natural one that always enchants her - on the little things that transcend their appearance and acquire a poetic diversity, sublimating the present. Her pursuit of brightness and darkness, contrasts and harmonies becomes one with the lens, an attentive and inquiring gaze that reflects her perennial search for moments being unrepeatable but which are part of a daily life that sees spaces, shapes and lines transfigured in dream visions. Fragments of life and photographic adrenaline which reveal the lyricism of her images such as her project, always in progress, "The lights of a fleeting time" illuminated by contrasts of Caravaggio-esque flashes. She has written plays for theatre, published six books and writes about photography on her blog "L'Aura Photographica", on “Artwort”, an independent art blog and Globus Magazine. Her photographs have been published in numerous industry magazines and presented in exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
