About me

I was born in 1974 in Italy. 

I am self-taught and I come from a non-scholastic artistic path: my knowledge and skills were acquired with insights and intuitions developed by myself.

I attended specialization courses in watercolor, illustration, abstract drawing, collage, Japanese woodcut, artistic portrait, drawing of the human figure and ceramics. 

In my paintings I look for beauty and the affinity of sensations with nature. 

The evolution of my thinking led me to observe human beings, capturing their attitudes, fleeting moments full of emotions. 

The desire is to reveal a reality that goes beyond the one immediately perceived. 

In my career I started to use the figurative as a vehicle for the narration of a psychological condition with the desire to exalt and make public not only weaknesses but also problems and taboos.
