When I have to define my work it is not easy, I am an eclectic and varied creative, my job is not only to create "beauty", but also to discover and research new trends in the field installations, on topic wedding and all the facets of creativity.

This year, too, I've shaped and consolidated my opinion regarding the 2016 trends: that the 2016 Pantone colors will very often be paired with two diametrically opposed materials: metallic and precious materials such as bronze, silver, copper, stone, and gold, or extremely natural materials such as wood, bark, and stone.
