Sculptor and sculpture educator based in Florence, Italy. My teaching combines traditional sculptural techniques, direct experience with materials, and the development of each student's individual artistic language.
Art is a fundamental language in every student's educational journey: a powerful tool for inner exploration and connection with the outside world.
From the Greek wisdom of “Know thyself” to the Enlightenment motto “Dare to know”, my educational aim is to guide students in using artistic expression as a means of critical, creative and personal understanding.
