A bit of my life..

I was born on May 31, 1980, in Grottaglie, southern Italy, into a family with a long pottery tradition. From childhood, I was surrounded by extraordinary artisans, and their mastery inspired my journey into art. After studying at the State Art Institute and the Academy of Fine Arts in Lecce, I moved to Barcelona and later to Andalusia, where I discovered the rich tradition of Nasrid ceramics. In the bohemian district of Sacromonte, I reconnected with clay, the material of my childhood, and began shaping my own artistic path.I founded *Me Piace* in Zahara de los Atunes, creating paintings, illustrations, and textile designs, and in 2016 I opened my studio-shop *Sotto Scala*, where sculpture, ceramics, and mixed-media creations come to life.Today, I work with clay, terracotta, wood, paper, and textiles, exploring glazes, engobes, oils, and acrylics. My work is a dialogue between tradition and contemporary vision, transforming unique forms into tangible expressions of creativity.
