"For me Botanical Art and Naturalistic Illustration are not just something I know and love to do, they are also a social commitment. Show nature through a new, aware gaze. Faced with the terrible climate change we are going through is essential for me to keep track of the changes that are taking place in nature and represent them."

Black ballpoint pen

I chose the ballpoint pen precisely because of its characteristic of being non-erasable, this, in addition to making me more concentrated, gives my works a certain freshness that I really love. Furthermore, I also like and find it fascinating to create an artwork with just one tool.

— About me

Graduated at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan (2020), I have been combining the artistic technique and my personal sense of poetry with a strict scientific method. I moved to the Ticino forest nature reserve precisely to be able to study and portray the plants of my area.

In December 2023 I became a member of The Society of Botanical Artists and since April 2024 I have started to collaborate with Terra Magazine by publishing the "Urbana Herbarium" column on a monthly basis.

Another collaboration I had the pleasure of doing was the illustration for Moth Produzioni and their column "Moth of the Month".
