Fra la collina e le viti

An invitation to pause, to see the unseen, and to find the infinite within the everyday beauty that surrounds us.

BETWEEN THE HILLS AND THE VINES

“Fra la Collina e le Vite” is a collection of works shaped by time, place, and process. These three projects — Trees of the Vineyard, Wild Herbs and Vines — represent explorations within a larger, ongoing body of work. Each piece holds a moment — observed, drawn, painted, and recorded

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

 My work is a continuous dialogue with the landscape — a visual diary of quiet observations, fleeting shifts, and hidden rhythms. Living among the vineyards and hills of northern Italy, I respond to the textures, light, and structures of my surroundings, capturing moments before they slip into memory. Drawing is the foundation of my practice, grounded in my love of watercolour. I work intuitively, allowing the process to guide my observations. I gather materials from the land — making charcoal from pruned vines, inks from fallen walnuts and oak galls, and pigments from vines and trees allowing the landscape to inform my work. A sketchbook is always in hand, mapping unseen connections between what is ephemeral and what endures.

My process is layered and evolving, balancing abstraction and observation, order and chaos, the man-made and the organic. I am drawn to the geometric rhythms of the vineyards, the shifting perspectives revealed through movement and the framing of views through windows, shutters, and doorways.Through detail and abstraction, I seek to distill a sense of place — not as something fixed, but as something in constant flux, unfolding with each moment.

I document my process through photography, capturing traces of process and transformation — both in the work and in the landscape itself.
