Atto poetico

The idea that life and dreams are made of the same substance is at the heart of my work, and it is necessarily the soul of my images. The mechanism of photomontage looks like the process of a dream and, in the same way, I pick up the pieces of reality and put them back together in order to create new worlds and situations that would otherwise be impossible. Normally the woman who appears in my images is me. The reason is that I have always tried to look into my inner recesses in order to know myself, and I consider art the perfect medium for doing this. I tend to use faded colours to emphasise the idea of life as a dream made up of elusive memories and sensations. As with dreams, my images are full of symbolism: deserts, mirrors, animals… You will also find recurring symbols that represent an important part of me, my history and my thoughts.
