the Story
the PROJECT
Born near Milan to an Italian father and a Colombian mother, I studied at an art high school before continuing with two years of scenography for cinema at Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera.
Before settling in Paris in 2016, I worked in hospitality in Australia, starting from the most practical side of kitchen life -cleaning, preparation, food waste, washing dishes, cutting vegetables — before moving closer to food handling and cooking environments. That experience gave me a direct understanding of the rhythm, discipline, and invisible labor behind restaurants’
It was in Paris, however, that I refined my palate and deepened my understanding of gastronomy, wine culture, and the French ritual of eating and drinking.
Over the years, working as a guide in Paris naturally connected with my work as a painter. Both disciplines are rooted in observation, atmosphere, composition, emotion, and storytelling.
This project was born from that intersection: exploring gastronomy through an artistic and cultural perspective.
Through articles, visual work, and curated experiences, I focus on the relationship between food, aesthetics, memory, and urban life — documenting Paris not simply as a destination, but as a living organism shaped by creativity, ritual, and human encounters.

An artist should be true to themselves. The work has to come from something real, something felt deeply and instinctively.
After years away from painting, I finally understood what I want to paint, talk about, and experience: food. French food. Cheese. Wine. An oyster eaten with cold hands and a glass of white somewhere in Paris.
But it’s never just the food. It’s the glassware, the colors, the design choices. The paper wrapped around a piece of cheese, a handmade plate under the main course, the typography on a wine label, the shine of a wine glass..
All of it matters. All of it becomes part of the experience. Of the memory.
