Born in Milan in 1996, she lives and works in Rome.
She obtained her artistic diploma at the Liceo Artistico in Via Ripetta and later the First and Second Level Academic Diplomas in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and VŠVU/AFAD in Bratislava. Her research addresses the theme of memory and its reclaiming, both personal and collective, starting from photographic archive work that is then explored through painting, becoming a device for the resurfacing of recollection. Among the group exhibitions she has taken part in: Inarrestabili latitudini nell’era dell’Antropocene curated by Greta Alberta Tirloni and Affinità Elettive at Rione Placido (2023), Take Care at Fondazione 107, Turin (2021), XXXII edition of Porticato Gaetano at the Municipal Art Gallery A. Sapone in Gaeta (2020, 2021), Le Sedie Vuote at the Shoah Museum Foundation in Rome (2018), SAVEBiennale at the Vittoria Colonna Museum in Pescara (2018), TinyBiennale at Temple University Rome (2017). In 2023 she founded the independent space Rione Placido in the Pigneto district of Rome.
