My story is like a lotus flower rising from the mud—an injury led me to discover embroidery.
I was born in Naples in 1996, a city that has greatly influenced my work. Its colors, scents, and magical stories have all contributed to filling my subconscious with radiant figures from which I draw inspiration. Other sources of my creative spirit include nature, alchemy, the stars, and archetypal imagery.
I have always been fascinated by knitting, a passion sparked by my grandmother, who was my first teacher. At 12, a skating injury introduced me to embroidery during a summer I spent on crutches. It was love at first sight, and I soon began assisting my teacher in her work. Though school forced me to pause, the memory of embroidery stayed with me.
A bolt
from the blue!
At Liceo Artistico in Naples, my love for painting flourished, leading me to the Academy of Fine Arts.
In the midst of my academic studies, one day, by pure chance, I rediscovered my old embroidery box, where I had kept cotton threads, my sewing tools, and a few flowers embroidered with satin stitch. A bolt from the blue! I immediately picked up the colors, the frame, the needles, and began to embroider once again. This time, however, I combined the technique with my creativity developed over the years, and as if by magic, my modern embroideries began to take shape, and from that moment, I never stopped..

How my embroidery "paintings" combined my passions
Later on I began combining embroidery with my artistic vision, creating modern works that gained unexpected attention online.
This inspired me to explore sustainable fashion, embroidering vintage linen garments and building a small business.
After graduating, I pursued a master’s program in traditional weaving, which connected me further to artisanal craftsmanship. I later joined Gucci as a designer in the embroidery office but left in 2023 to focus on creating art full-time.
Threading
my journey
Since then, I’ve collaborated with brands like DIOR, participated in the "Artigianato e Palazzo" fair as a competition winner, and shared my expertise through courses and lectures.
Today, I balance partnerships, personal projects, and teaching, dedicating myself fully to embroidery and painting.
