It all began because of - or should I say thanks to - a red dress my mother crocheted for my doll when I was 6. That was when I first realized I could create something using some thread and the crochet needle, that immediately appeared to me like an extension of my imagination: a sort of "magic wand" that, like a "multicolored pencil" in my hands, could give shape to always different bijoux and accessories.
I became more and more familiar with hook and yarn, improving my skill and passing through different genres, until I found out that what I really wanted to do was experimenting and combining yarn with different techniques and materials such as copper, beads, crystals, semiprecious stones, wood, sea stones, fragments of shells or tile or glass smoothed by the sea, buttons - and everything else could be suitable for the design - I came across during a specific creative moment.
I can really express myself through crochet, because it allows me to make something new starting absolutely from zero, and I need this sense of "no limits freedom" when creating.
My ethnic and tribal, quite ancestral bijoux and accessories, reveal my love for ancient history and culture and for the origins of human kind, when the connection with Mother Earth was still strong and genuine. I love thinking that my creations are self-born from Earth and Nature: that's why I prefer warm and earthy tones such as browns, mustard, greens, reds, oranges, cream, although sometimes I choose more vivid colors and stronger contrasts.
