Hi, I’m Stella.
I am an artist and contemporary photographer made in Rome in 1989 and assembled between Milan, Paris, London and Taipei.
I am an artist and contemporary photographer made in Rome in 1989 and assembled between Milan, Paris, London and Taipei.
Part-time adult working as a full-time artist in Rome. Rest of my time is spent in deep thoughts or making troubles.
After graduating in Management of the Cultural Institutions, I joined the editorial team of Flash Art magazine, and then assisted and curated the Prague Biennale before moving to Paris and London where I got a Master degree in Management, Marketing and Creativity. The following years I lived in Taipei first and then back to Milan were I kept on working amongst various art galleries, auction houses, and art magazines, while expressing my creative vision through theatre and photography.
Since 2019, I work as a freelance photographer focusing my research on personal projects.
The world through my lens is nonsense and absurd, but it’s that kind of absurdity that is funny and sad at the same moment. It shows that what appears to be utter nonsense is an inseparable part of someone’s everyday life.
My research is about personal identity, intuitions, absences and sensations. The photos are characterized by multiple elements in dialogue with each other, such as the atmosphere, the colors and everything that is not visible to the eye.
