Strati

From the Italian word for "layers" — fine art photography transformed into wearable, three-dimensional masterpieces in limited-edition silk.
Artist Statement

Art should not be confined to walls.

"The Italian word strati, meaning 'layers,' is the foundation of my artistic practice. Through layered photographic compositions, I explore the relationships between the human form, nature, and the landscapes we inhabit, inviting viewers to look beyond the surface and discover deeper connections.

Using floral, mineral, water, and organic elements, I transform photography into abstract visual narratives that celebrate the beauty, movement, and complexity of the natural world. Each composition reflects my belief that we are inseparable from nature and that art can inspire us to recognize and appreciate that connection.

In 2022, this vision evolved into the Strati Collection under the leadership of my soulmate and best friend, Lisa Land. With her exceptional fashion sensibility and deep knowledge of silk, Lisa transformed my two-dimensional artworks into wearable, three-dimensional masterpieces. Together, we created limited-edition silk scarves and wraps that do more than accessorize — they become an integral part of a wardrobe, elevating personal style through the union of fine art, luxury, and timeless design.

The Strati Collection embodies our shared belief that art should not be confined to walls. It should move with us, become part of our daily lives, and serve as a reminder of our connection to the natural world. My hope is that each piece invites people to look beneath the surface, embrace the beauty of nature's layers, and experience the transformative power of art that can be both seen and worn."
