About The Artist

I was born in Turin, Italy. Since I was a child I have been attracted by the different forms of visual arts, so I started to get interested in comics and graphics. The great names of the illustration and painting have given me a push and an unbelievable passion to learn, to deepen techniques and travel, in metaphorical and real ways; the trip leads us into clearly realizing what links and binds human beings to each other as a sort of collective conscience. The awareness that lies deep inside us and a sole common history let me appreciate even more the peculiar traits of each, everyone and everything. I started out from this concept and reached the idea of “stones” benchmarking all my present works. Stones are stones everywhere, just as human beings beyond all apparent differences. So, the way I see it is that art is a means of expression that is full and integral part of human beings. It needs no birth and no growth. It is just simply there. This is just the same with stones: they are complete, finished, perfect and alive all by themselves. In order to represent this perfection as much as possible, I decided to avail myself from a pictorial technique that is nearly hyper-realistic.
