Turn around Sculpture

I come from two generations of painters and in my turn, I have tried to 'be' an artist by painting and participating in the art world. In 1996, even before completing my training as a Master of Art in Painting, I started exhibiting at public institutions and galleries and had my first teaching experiences. I have always felt the need to get out of the everyday: I have stayed many times in India, Brazil and Morocco for several months where I realised artistic and didactic projects. On my path of artistic and personal growth, I learnt to use my wounds to try to help others through art and beauty. I realised that by joining with high energies I could give myself to people and the world to 'be' an artist. I thus created a path by no longer thinking through the dynamics of an oppressive system, but by going towards a world in need of transformation and awakening. For me, the way to go in that direction is linked to the world of gaming: through our hands and bodies we live the experience that moves the invisible parts of us. Over time, my art has not remained still in itself, but has evolved to become 'social art' in the sense that the great German artist Joseph Buys intended: an art opposed to individualism that espouses the concept of democratisation and opens up to the public, to the group, to the shared realisation of the work as in my latest works. Today I aspire to the 'spiritual of art' that Kandinsky referred to, which leads to change and the evolution of the self. I currently work in education and training with children, adults and people with disabilities. I invent, construct and use my games together with art therapy as a method of personal and group development.
