I was born in a small town near Siena in the mountains of Tuscany in 1979.
I was brought up among paint and brushes, my father being both a painter and a sculptor.
I went to "Liceo Classico" a high school specialising in the classical studies and both classical and modern art..
After this I studied architecture but left this course in order to study at the international school of comics in which I graduated four years later. I lived in Rome and Siena and came back in Florence where I live spending my time painting and working part-time as a cook.I began first with portraits and then moved on to painting train stations and their urban landscapes. Travelling by train I often found myself in these places and realised I was attracted greatly to their designs created in iron and of the electricity wires against the sky. These stations inspire strong emotions of departures, stop offs and arrivals both of the soul and of the body.
In these subjects I find a contrast between squalor and beauty, the transcendental and the physical brutality of those metal and cement forms with their ancestral connotations (like modern totems or stalagmites in the sky). I use this media to supply me with feelings which are difficult to express in any other way. These places are transferred from an emotional filter and are transported to the canvas directly or abstractly and distortedly depending on the mood which pulls me to create each individual piece.I didn't learn my craft in a school and don’t have a particular "coded" pattern , therefore I take advantage of every new work for personal experimentation dictating more from instinct than a technique which has been studied. I think that, because of this, one may find some deep stylistic differences between one painting and another.
Each work is born spontaneously without a precise plan. I throw myself into my painting for hours without breaking contact with the canvas sometimes not until a painting a has been completed in one session. I am deeply inspired by the music I listen to while I paint.
