Artistic Journey
I was born in the beautiful city of Milan, Italy.
After graduating from the Fine Art Academy "Accademia di Brera" in 2009 with a focus on sculpture, I became captivated by various artistic movements, including Land Art, Body Art, and traditional Japanese painting.
These influences continue to shape my creative journey today.

​
In 2010, I made a bold move to the UK, where I embraced my passion for tattooing. What began as an interest quickly evolved into a way to express myself and connect with others.
I believe that tattoos are powerful tools for personal expression, allowing individuals to commemorate their experiences, boost their confidence, and enhance their identity through art.​​
Watercolour Tattoo Philosophy
I draw inspiration from various art movements, including:
Impressionism: Influences my use of soft washes and blended hues, creating pieces that feel both vibrant and ethereal. Think of the soft edges and overall mood captured in Monet's paintings, translated onto the skin.
​
Surrealism: The unexpected dreamlike imagery of Surrealism inspire me to create unconventional compositions and incorporate symbolic elements.
Minimalism: The clean lines and uncluttered aesthetics of Minimalism inform my use of negative space and carefully chosen colour palettes. This provides the perfect balance of simplicity and impact.
Art Nouveau: The flowing lines, organic forms, and decorative motifs of Art Nouveau frequently appear in my work, adding a sense of elegance and sophistication to my watercolour tattoos. This leads to unique and aesthetically pleasing custom designs.
I believe watercolour tattooing has the ability to translate the emotions and concepts behind a design in a way other mediums cannot. The soft gradients and the way the colours blend create a look and feel unique to this style of tattoo.
My goal with each piece is to create a beautiful work of art that deeply resonates with you, a testament to your individual journey and story.
This combination of art movements and my focus on your individual story and vision is what allows me to create truly unique and expressive custom tattoo designs.
OVER A DECADE
Creating happy memories
​​​​​
In 2019, I proudly opened my own studio, Avant Art Tattoo, where I am based permanently.
I also enjoy traveling for guest spots and conventions, sharing my art with a wider audience.
​
I wanted to create a place where talented artists could really shine. With a true passion for helping others grow, I took the time to mentor my team, sharing my tips and knowledge to help them improve their skills.
Together, we've created a collaborative environment that encourages creativity and innovation, allowing us to deliver excellent work and continually improve our craft.
​
​In addition to tattooing, I recently started sharing my passion for this art through my blog.
I write about the tattoo styles I love to work on and offer tips to help you choose your ideal style and design.
My aim is to make the tattoo process enjoyable and informative for anyone considering their next piece of art.
