Voglio vivere come un'opera d'arte

I have turned my body into a place of experience.

What if I could become a paintbrush myself?

It all started with this question.

I didn’t have a specific plan.

I didn’t know where I’d end up.

I just wanted to play. Playing with colour, with the body, with photography. To experiment, to try things out, to let myself be surprised by what happened, without worrying too much about the outcome.

These images stem from that game. Out of a desire to rediscover a space free from obligation, from the need to produce something, from fear, and from the anxiety of having to perform well. A place where I can simply play, feel, experience and be amazed.

Through play and joy, I feel closer to my true self. It is there that something opens up: the chance to listen to what is true, without having to define it.

The body has become, at once, a surface, a brush and an instrument.

Work and creator.

Colour has become a gesture. The movement did the rest.

Living like a work of art does not mean creating beauty.

It means living life so fully that every action can become an act of creation.

These photographs do not seek a definitive form.

They arise the moment I stop looking for it and simply allow myself to play.
