The enthralling world of painting

From earliest childhood, colours and paper were my favourite play-things and my passion for painting has been growing ever since.

 

At the beginning I painted figuratively and learned to observe the play of lights and shadows, the proportions and perspectives, and to translate what I saw onto paper or canvas. Soon, though, the mere representation of reality seemed too constricting – I wanted to give form to my emotions.

 

The abstract opened up my very own world of images. On this journey I was inspired by the works of among others Hans Falk and Sam Francis, and foremost by the painting lessons I enjoyed with Hans Ruedi Sieber.

 

Today I work exclusively with an acrylic mix, and painting has become a major part of my life. 2005 I was admitted into the artists' guild Zurich.

 

My paintings are mirrors of my soul – the visualisation of experiences and emotions which accentuate my daily life. My aim is to bring joy to the people who look at my paintings, to offer them a gift of beauty. I’m very touched every time someone embraces one of my paintings and experiences with it his or her very own story.

 

You’ll find a small selection of my paintings under «i gialli», «i grigi», «i marroni», «i rossi» and «gli altri».

 

I’d like to invite you into my studio-gallery for an immediate encounter with my art.
