WORK
Acrylic
Originally created in Berlin and then further developed in Vilcabamba (Ecuador) during the global lockdown, the acrylic paintings offer the possibility of escape from the (ir)real and the re-appropriation of one's multidimensional wholeness, thanks to organic lines that compose maps of mysterious and welcoming worlds.
These paths, to be followed both horizontally (expanding the self in spatiality) and vertically (reconnecting spiritual planes), as well as suggesting strategies of liberation propose clues to reconstruct a matrix of meaning at the moment when the latter seems to be lost and fading.
The worlds represented in the works call to be explored in depth, drawing the viewer into them and requiring the abandonment of all rigidity (postural, cognitive, spiritual), through the vibrational exchange, mediated by the painting, between the artist and the receiver.

Drawings
The series of pastel drawings on paper originates in the dual form of travel notebook and daily poem, nurtured by the artist's need to connect with the other, known or unknown, for purposes of protection, inspiration, awakening and warning.
Characterized by warm, organic and vital colors, they depict recurring subjects that can ambivalently assume roles as guardians or emissaries: the ancestral egg that is the ultimate maternal symbol, the magical flowers that regenerate in the sun, the thorny snake that reconnects the human to the initiatory truth of the soil and subsoil, the emanating antenna dressed in the form of arrows or other signs.
The entirety of the subjects (symbol-characters generating a naturally protective cosmogony) composes a unified narrative made up of self-contained episodes, expressing through vital signs and symbols the invitation to regenerate the vibrational aspects that reside within each of us.

Performance
The taboo of tenderness
​
​
The event takes shape around a performance involving the audience in a tactile, unexpected and touching way, through the gentle brushing of a rose flower across and around each person’s face by the performer who manifests herself as a fairy-like, ethereal entity dressed in a softly colored silk kimono.
This action slowly redesign somatic traits in a playful way, dissolving deep-seated tensions while exploring social interaction derived from unexpected and gentle contact, bearer of possible therapeutic effects.
The performance is received with closed eyes and unlocks a state of receptivity, authenticity and openness in a calm and harmless context, where vulnerability is sacred and secret at the same time, allowing the opening of new horizons of awareness and cognition. Along with nurturing and relaxing the vague nerve, responsible for alert and hunger responses, the performance activates such awareness that can be accessed when in a state of deep relaxation and enlightenment, through olfactory and tactile stimulation.
Rose petals are scattered, at the end of each individual intervention, to draw a circle that includes performer and individual, reinforcing the presence of a sphere of action and activation into which participants enter, one at a time, to receive the kind and transformative act, after observing its effect on previous participants.
The crushing effect of the breaking of taboo/boundary such as tenderness leads the reflection of why are those actually and unconsciously enforced as taboos in many ways and forms, and what potential is lost by suppressing the sensitive part of human perception. The event also invites us to investigate the innermost self, rediscovering the most mysterious and at the same time innocent nuances of one's essence, allowing us to remember who we have always been, reconfiguring our perception of life around sensory memories and conscious presence.
