“The last mural I created in Hong Kong for HKWalls is a psychedelic tapestry where vibrant color patterns flow alongside animals, abstract shapes, and oneiric figures. During my travels, I always carry a sketchbook—an essential companion to capture fleeting moments of inspiration. I’m especially drawn to portraying elderly women, or ‘Nonnas’ (the term we use for grandmothers in Italian), focusing on their expressions and the rich textile patterns they wear—motifs that often embody the cultural heritage they carry with them.

This mural is a tribute to all the Nonnas around the world.”

「我這次在香港為HKwalls創作的壁畫,是一幅迷幻織錦 —— 繽紛色塊與動物、抽象形態及夢境般的人像交織流動。每次旅途中我總會隨身攜帶一本素描簿,這個重要的小夥伴可以為我及時捕捉轉瞬即逝的靈感。我尤其鍾情於描繪年長女性 —— 即我們意大利語中的『Nonnas』(祖母),專注刻畫她們的神態與服飾的繁複織紋,這些圖案往往承載著她們身後的文化傳承。

僅以此壁畫獻給全世界的祖母。」
