The pufferfish: at first glance, delicate and almost playful, with soft and light shapes. But behind its appearance lies a powerful symbol of inner strength and adaptability. Able to transform itself in self-defense, it embodies the quiet determination of those who know how to endure and change without losing their essence.
Each of my mosaics is born from an encounter with the wood: cleaned, brushed, restored, and always protected with an anti-woodworm treatment. Its grain, shapes, colors, and traces of time inspire the subject and guide the composition. The wood does not merely host the mosaic; it becomes an essential part of it, dialoguing with the artwork and completing it with its own story.
Materials: White Italian stone of Nanto, white Italian marble of Carrara, mixed Venetian smalti, white Venetian gold (24K gold leaf), artistic glass, artistic ceramic, recicled material.
