Bio
I am a contemporary visual artist whose work explores the dynamics of contrasts and their balances, the tension between delicacy and strength, between music and noise, struggle and dance.
I spent my childhood in the countryside, near the banks of the great Po River, in a privileged relationship with nature, animals, and the land, which for many years were my main source of inspiration. The silence, slowness, delicacy, and harmony of the misty landscapes interwoven with poplar groves shaped my sensibility. Earth, branches, flowers, and stones are the materials with which I created my first "works.".
After a classical artistic education enriched by internships with artists and illustrators, I began my career as an internationally published nature illustrator. I also worked in education, designing and leading art workshops for adults and children. Many other experiences, such as theater practice and the discovery of Zen philosophy, have subsequently contributed to shaping my vision of the world and art.
An inner, intellectual and emotional evolution, which pushed me to seek the Poetics of Flow, where there is no shouting or provocation, but the need to bring harmony, to arouse emotion, to recount the mysterious theatre of life with its contradictions, its shadow lines and its flashes of light.
My works are part of private collections and have been present in several solo and group exhibitions in various countries.
Poetics
LoR creates pictorial works mainly on wooden panels, which he personally assembles into various shapes, on which he works with different tools and materials, such as acrylic, ink, paper, gauze, silk and cotton threads.
Thread is ever-present in her work; it speaks of connection, bond, and the necessary interconnection between things. While gauze evokes the idea of protection and care.
There's an initial intention, inspired by a contemporary narrative that engages her, sparking an ongoing dialogue between the layering of materials, traces, and her thoughts. In the creative process, LoR embraces the unexpected, allowing the emotions and energy of the moment to guide her work. It's a slow process where the works are like organisms that move, sprout, and dance; everything vibrates, pulsates, and is immersed in the poetics of flux, in constant transformation. This dynamic suggests a metaphor for the human and natural dimension, its strength and fragility.
The aim is to evoke, to leave space for thought and emotion, to convey through art a reflection on being and acting in the world, transfigured into poetic form.

In the work I found the dance of life as I like it: nature, lightness, light...
