What is 1centesimodime?

Who are you

As an artist, creative, and designer, I live between Portugal – where I reside – Switzerland, and Italy, weaving together art, craftsmanship, and meaning every day in the project 1centesimodime – The value of values.

I create conceptual works and fashion accessories born from personal research into values, life, its laws, and its philosophy: material works, modular belts, modular earrings, scarves, twillies, and jewelry that hold symbols, stories, and fragments of everyday life.

The circle, threads, and the act of tying and uniting different materials are my language: a metaphor for life's connections, its continuous movement, and the dimensions that intertwine and recall each other.

Each creation is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and remember what truly matters, to interpret one's own path, and to transform values into daily acts of awareness.

  • Origins and transformation

    For seventeen years, together with a partner, I ran a decoration and trompe-l’oeil studio. In 2004, after a serious accident and a painful separation, my perspective on life and art changed radically. I abandoned hyperrealism for a more essential, sincere, and rooted language.

  • The birth of my signature

    My first signature was a "fior di conio" 1-cent coin: a symbol to give identity to creations I no longer recognized as the previous ones. In 2018, in a moment of great abstraction, patiently creating my wool circles, I understood that those circles represented Life in its purest form.

The Value of Values
That insight gave birth to my symbol: a coin representing inner value, something no one should suppress. Transformed into a button, it became the bridge between art, life, and meaning.

My work today
Art and objects as a single path
