Born in Trieste (Italy) in 24 august 1970. I graduated from the scientific high school in 1991. In the same year I participated in a drawing course at the Revoltella museum with prof. Nino Perizi. Between 1992 and 1999 I was self-taught, taking part in various exhibitions and painting competitions. From 2000 to 2003 I attended the artistic laboratory at the studio of the artist Paolo Cervi Kervischer. In February 2009 I graduated in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna with the thesis "Ascension in Contemporary Art." Three artists in comparison: Matthew Barney, Hamish Fulton, Anish Kapoor. ", (Speaker Roberto Daolio and Prof. Giovanni Mundula, score 110/110 with honors).

My artistic research is focused on the concept of time, on the rituality of the artistic gesture, and the representation of energy and noise. It fascinates me very much to have an almost "alchemical" relationship with the artistic material, whatever it is. I create abstract or figurative forms that have condensed these characteristics and are a synthesis of natural and artificial, through sculpture, painting and other expressive means.

I consider myself a multi-faceted personality who constantly like to experiment and seek new means, and new models to express themselves. Experimentation is for me an important daily practice necessary for my artistic practice. Lately I'm trying to take a difficult path that winds between traditional Japanese art, romantic Nordic feeling (the culture of northern Europe), and contemporaneity.

I am also very interested in the relationship between literature, poetry and visual arts, as I believe they are complementary fields of expression.
