Exhibition information

I came to art from being born and brought up in Rome. So I value ‘Classicism’. After many years of painting furniture, I felt the need to express myself in more challenging and creative ways. The art of marquetry seems to have chosen me.

The process of cutting thin veneer into sizes and shapes and getting them into place with accurate adjustment to space, is very thrilling. The works are made with coloured veneer inlays on wood panels.

Isn’t it Nature’s generosity to allow us to copy and reinvent its beauty with so many different materials and techniques in a never-ending renewed freshness?
