where.
Traditional CVs often describe the sequence of events, but rarely reveal the conditions from which a person creates.
I have explored my journey in depth in one of my writings, reflecting on the choices, experiences, and encounters that shaped my way of seeing the world.
Here instead, I would like to share WHERE. I stand today — because I believe that understanding where someone is reveals much more about who they are.
Where do I stand when I exist between things? In my case, a WHERE. between solitude and encounter, between stillness and transformation, between arriving and searching — a space shaped by several layers: the physical, the inner, the artistic, and the philosophical.
If I were to draw myself only through the light that surrounds me, which would be the place I would choose?
I live in South Tyrol (Italy), a region shaped by the encounter of Italian and German cultures and a unique history. Growing up in this space between languages and cultures has taught me to look beyond borders and to find connection in what we share, without denying the value of difference.
Perhaps this is an additional reason why I have always felt the need to move beyond a single perspective and to engage with the world through different forms of expression.
I live at an altitude of 1,300 metres in a wooden house, where I heat my home exclusively with wood. My studio, however, is located down in the valley, in my hometown of Merano.
I cherish both worlds, because they reflect two essential parts of who I am: the introverted person who finds inspiration in nature, simplicity, solitude, and quiet reflection, and the extroverted, dynamic side of myself that seeks movement, encounters, and new challenges.
I love having the freedom to choose. In fact, I need that freedom — to listen to what each moment requires and to respond accordingly. This constant movement between solitude and encounter, between stillness and transformation, is also the space from which my artistic practice emerges.
