30 years ago, in the middle of an hot italian summer I started my own life's journey. Since childhood I spent much more time on paper instead of playing soccer as most of other italian kids did; this could be weird in some ways, but who cares? Painting fascinated me and I knew I had to do it.

When I was 12 I looked for the first time at some strange paintings on a wall of my city: that was the time I met and discovered Graffiti, one of the most important things I've dealt with in my whole life. Being a writer has become massively for about ten years (and more) my way, it's been the reason why I passed hours and hours sketching and many nights outside on mission, getting frozen by cold weather.

In 2001 something has changed. I started to feel limited about letters and spraycans. I put my whole attention to characters, evolving that figures I often painted next to my pieces. So, I began a research about lines, shapes and solid aspects of the colours, using human bodies as a support for my concepts. Now with brushes I can play on matter, powered by the large range of signs I can create as I put a different touch and sensibility on works. Human lines become idealized, renewed and often unreal, strokes become like bones for the figure, matter turns into flesh. I love to put my works on useless and broken items, giving them a new dimension and a new dignity. The work itself gets stronger by the eroded support.

However a sort of passion about letters still remains today. I just brought my sensibility and my experience into my actual work of graphic designer, using typography and creating fonts to deal and play with words' shapes.

Finally, I hope you'll love my works. Take a look and feel free to write me for any information.

You can find me also on Flickr, Fotolog and MySpace.
