WHO I AM
Everything You Want to Know
My art reflects a continuous inner exploration and a dialogue with the world around me. Through colors, textures, and materials, I explore the infinite nuances of human experience and nature, creating works that emanate energy, emotion, and awareness.
My inspiration often comes from encounters with different cultures, travel, and the observation of everyday life. For me, art is a lifestyle, a language, and transformation.
My creations have been purchased by designers, actors, screenwriters, and collectors in Italy, the United States, and Canada.
Some works are part of the collections of Gabriella Crespi and her family, while others were chosen by Roy Dupuis, a well-known Canadian actor.
Biography
My artistic journey has crossed geographical and cultural boundaries. After studying anthropology and music, I lived for four years in Spain and three in Brazil, where I began painting as a self-taught artist.
After returning to Italy, my style evolved: I combined figuration and abstraction, collage and recycled materials, portraiture and expressionism. I took advanced courses at the Scuola degli Artefici and the Scuola del Nudo within the Brera Academy, as well as attending the Scuola del Castello in Milan.
Today, my works are part of international private collections and prestigious exhibitions.
My works are documented in numerous art catalogues and magazines, which contribute to consolidating their collectible value.
