She is the protagonist of two important exhibitions at the Turin gallery Burning Giraffe Art Gallery with which he collaborates, “Turin-Berlin NowHere” and “Metropolitan unconscious V.I and II”.
Through a realistic painting, full of rough truths that flow into intense colors capable of enhancing suburban architectures, portrayed with rigorous geometry, scratches and cuts that restore their materiality, the artist examines and measures the non-places of the cities. She is the winner of the Young at Art prize and finalist in the Terna Prize.
