Behind the Pages of CATS! – My Journey as Writer and Artist

✨ Honored and grateful to be part of this remarkable international project as both writer and artist — and as a member of the Editorial Board of the CATS! Art Book by the Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation.

My heartfelt thanks to the entire team, and especially to Allegra Barbagelata, Editor-in-Chief, for her inspiring vision and leadership.

It’s a true joy to see my essay “Of Thread and Shadow: The Cat as Guardian and Muse” open the book and exhibition, weaving together mythology, history, and the quiet presence of the feline as a creative muse.

Alongside it, my graphite works explore the cat as oracle — a silent co-creator at the threshold between intuition and form.

This collaboration has been a rare experience of artistic dialogue and editorial storytelling — where text and image meet in perfect symmetry. 🖤🐾
