I have always created with my hands.
At three years old, I was already making small balls out of tin foil, asking my father if they were beautiful. I grew up in a family where jewellery wasn’t a luxury, but a language.
In London, I studied at Central Saint Martins, entering with a background in video and graduating in sculpture. Later, in Madrid, I spent four years working with porcelain — crafting mesh-like forms, almost like armor, entirely by hand. My path into jewellery came through art, in an unconventional way.
When I returned to Rome, I fell in love with bronze — the same material as the statue of Marcus Aurelius on the Capitoline Hill. A material that feels closer to sculpture than to traditional jewellery.
Each of my pieces begins with a story, which evolves through the meeting of imagination and material.
Then comes the discovery of dialogue with the body — something essential in jewellery. And in that moment, I find myself again as that three-year-old child, already knowing that beautiful things are meant to be shared.
