About

From an early age, I have been captivated by the timeless beauty of stone and humanity’s remarkable ability to shape it. My fascination was nurtured by a classical education, where the splendour of Greek and Roman marbles often leapt from the pages of my schoolbooks, igniting a passion that would shape my artistic journey. And so my encounter with stone carving was inevitable.

I started carving when I was just a teen in my countryside home in Sardinia. At the time, I was using tools that I found in my father’s garage: a carpenter’s hammer and an iron wedge (the one used to knock down walls). Though the results were far from perfect, that did not discourage me. After a break of almost 20 years, I joined the Skelton’s workshop in Sussex, UK. With access to professional tools and expert guidance from Paulien Gluckman and Helen Marie Skelton, I was able to refine my techniques and develop a unique artistic voice. And oh, how I love it.
