A single sinuous line forms the core of my artworks. My subjects are anatomical figures graphically portrayed with a deeply black mark. The Human body is a structure both complex and harmonic. One continuous line creates blending bodies, deformed men and women. I get to know my subjects deeper and deeper while I engrave their silhouettes on my steel etching plates. Silhouettes have fascinated me since I have started studying anatomical drawing with Renzo Peretti, teacher at the Academy of Fine arts in Venice and co-author of the anatomical drawing method text book “Struttura Uomo”, now used as reference in drawing schools all over Europe. 
For my etchings I always use an experimental non-toxic etching process, replacing nitric acid with copper sulfate. This process is both less toxic to the environment and less hazardous to the artist. It also allows the artist to touch the plates directly. There is an element of chance to this process, the outcomes cannot always be foreseen with complete accuracy, and this grants the artist the opportunity to develop their own work in an original and quite unique way. 
Similarly whilst I’m working on my drawings, painting or digital paintings, I let my unconscious creative take over trying to work without conscious control. Each technique carries my hand over the surface in completely different ways, and at different times. This is what makes the bodies I draw contorted. Or, explained in another way, my Academic anatomical knowledge, combined with my feelings in that precise moment and the medium/technique I am using, is what determines the shape of “my bodies” .
