Through my work I try to express the significance of the world to which I belong. My work is a reflection about the specific reality of my country. Usually I use the self-portrait as ways to meditate about the fact of belonging to and island where the collective history and the personal destine are in very tight relation. Thus the fundamental motif of my work is the daily recovery of and individual and social memory tied to everyday overcoming of difficulties. Also my work is highly bound whit lost utopian feelings and frustration of the socialism-emancipating ideal, which are states of minds very characteristics of the actual society.
