Born in Bari on 1964. Her success in contemporary art, in national and international level, has proved in over ten years of constant and rigorous research. She has explored, with seemingly cold eyes and clear impassibility, the world of the "portrait", faces and characters that suggest a soft discomfort, an ambiguous reject respect the "normality", an extraneous reality. Like a veil lifted that suggests a different dimension, his double. So cycles or series of foreground or medium fields that propose a couple of twins or just similar people, metropolitan tribes, Indians, homosexuals, transvestites. From the conceptual stability, the artist has dedicated her creativity to structure stories of people of ordinary daily life. She installs short sequences (triptychs, polyptychs of architectural style) with images that allude to a context(cultural and historical) where the protagonists live or have lived. Flashes of memory, emergencies of evidences about the human condition. In this evolution are present the constant contacts with Portugal and Brazil (graduated in Foreign Languages and Literatures, she is also a skilled translator of text), then countries with a culture and a literature in which a surrealistic vein leavens. Art exhibitions and shows: the Youth Art Mediterranean Biennal, Algeria (1990); European Panorama Award, in which she’s the winner in 1994; the Comme Dans un Miroir exhibition at Musee de L'Elisée in Lausanne (1996); the itinerant exposition The European Face (1996-97); Mille e una Biennale, at Bevilacqua Foundation La Masa in Venice (2001); Extraordinario, Art House Stesicorea Catania by Antonio Presti – Fiumara d’Arte ( 2002-2003).
