A journey into traditions and nature
My work researches traditions and modern identities to explore the roots of an ancient culture through the journey in a mysterious land: Sardinia.
But practicing botanical illustration is for me a meditative path that helps me concentrate on details and allows me to enjoy the gifts that Mother Nature offers us.
Studying the details of images and inspecting the nature and human connections that surround me is the purpose of my work, which I achieve by using saturated and bright colors.
Working on “The Masks series”, a big project about the traditional Sardinian Carnival, became an opportunity to study the origin of the ancestral need for which men of different cultures and at different latitudes of the world feel the need to wear a mask, to transform themselves into something else, different, a magical and divine entity.

My love for nature began when, as a child, I accompanied my dad on mushroom and snail-hunting forays, spent hours in my parents’ garden, hiked summers in my uncle’s country, and foraged for wild herbs and fruit. I love portraying garden and forest plants, the Sardinia native plants, their ecology, and interactions with insects or pollinators.
