All my work is built around a concept I hold dear: that of dialogue, of cross-cultural interaction.
A work hung on the entrance wall welcomes and greets those who enter, just as two or more panels from the same series in the living room stimulate interest and curiosity, while in the sleeping area they lead the imagination to distant worlds. There are also smaller models, simply to be placed on a shelf to complete a bookshelf or an equipped wall. The domestic world is certainly not the only environment suitable for Amelia's works, which are capable of making public places, such as restaurants and luxury venues, and private ones, such as fashion showrooms or meeting rooms of important offices, unique.
Amelia's passion for textiles is not recent but rather germinated during her years of study in Venice, where, at the Academy of Fine Arts, she trained as a Scenographer. Here the discovery and the flash of inspiration for the textile world. Here she began to touch and learn about various textiles, but above all, she began to cultivate within herself the idea of being able to use them, sooner or later, to express her own artistic vision.
