Biography
My passion for design and painting was instilled me by my design teacher when I was in the middle school but I started painting later, in 1997 as self-taught.
In these years I tried above all the oil technic, more closed to my personality and more suitable to express myself.
I earned a degree in History and art criticism with a thesis in museology and history of art at the University of Torino and I attended a course in drawing and painting at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts of Torino to improve my technic.
In my artistic journey I’ve gradually experienced different technics and style starting from landscape inspired by my travels around the world and reinterpreted in a personal way.
I deal with “Le città invisibili" (Invisible cities), paintings drawn from the stories of Italo Calvino: three revolving panels painted both sides in a transfigured and personal style. “The houses are immersed in a magical dream in a floating fairy tale. Buildings are between earth and heaven, in a non-place, earthy and bluish, or suspended as satellites scattered in the dense blue of an unreal space”, says the critics.
My artworks too are a complain of the loneliness of the human being and of artists and highlights the difficulty of relationship between people, as you can see in “E Adesso??” (And Now??) and in “Conflitti” (Conflicts). I would like people see in these paintings even theirs personal conflicts and deep clashes in one’s own inner life.
There are also a series of works of complaint against big problems in the world, because I think that artist should involve himself in social issues. In “No More” I face up to the problem of lack and wastefulness of water and at the same time I want underline the indiscriminate use of plastic in the modern world. Instead “Burn” is a complaint about danger of smoke and the slow burn of smoking people.
To escape from these serious issues I paint the space world, my cats, cities at the night, landscapes: it is a manner to run away from major problems of our ordinary life and take shelter in an apparent well-being.
