They didn’t burn my inner-Elsa

My career path has been full of diversions. I studied literature, then fashion, followed by visual arts, and then fashion again, and today I am following an assumed protean process. Incapable of vowing allegiance to any one discipline, my work assumes the appearance of fashion, textiles, ceramics, drawing of course, and also metal through the creation of jewellery. The principle is to always tell a story, through different mediums, in order to conceive whole, narrative, and generous universes.

My collaborations with the villa Noailles belong to a long term universal process. I am interested in femininity and in particular those female artists who have inspired me. I allow myself to become overwhelmed by a character, a story, a universe, and I aim to elaborate new propositions, homages that are somewhat twisted and overly subjective, visual poems or simply an acknowledged excuse, in order to create objects that are both decorative and useful. I chose to celebrate Elsa Schiaparelli and I fell under the spell of the sensual and physical dimension of her uninhibited work.

I drew a universe that is haunted and ambivalent, intended to cover the walls of the space where the catwalk competition takes place, and for an exhibition at the villa Noailles, I created a small offering altar where iconic motifs lend themselves to contemplation.
