How it's the 2026 going so far?
Making baby steps but important steps.


     I got my first phone call from a gallery in Torino, in February, to do an exposition and an interview , but I declined because I didn't felt prepared for it. But they are open to receive me when I am ready. 
     In march I got another similar proposal from another gallery in Firenze. But the same thing, I declined for now. This gallery reached a second time in April but I declined again, but they are open as well to receive me when I want. 
    Why did I declined? For several reasons. First of all I feel like I haven't done yet amazing art. Yes, I made art that caught the attention, but first I feel I need to be more established in the art world so my interview has an impact. So this year is for my impact in competitions. And this year is for creation and discovery of myself and my style of painting. 
      In March I also got a collaboration with a gallery from London, wich I accepted.

In April I got my first official publication on the website on one of the contest I am in , Arte Laguna world Venezia, wich is a very important contest in the art world.

And also a very good remark , from a jury from the Dantebus Contest for one of my pieces.

So far I got the results only for the small competitions and haven’t won anything so far, but I am not in for the winning, I am in for the visibility. There are still the important competitions, Biennale Chianchiano and Arte Laguna World Venezia.
