It was a hot summer in 1977 and while both disco music and punk ruled the world, I started my own life's journey. Since childhood I spent much more time on paper than playing soccer as most of other italian kids did; this could be weird in some ways (for any italian signor Rossi), but who cares? Creating images just fascinated me.

On 12 I saw for the first time some paintings on a wall of my city: I got in touch with Graffiti Writing, 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 to spend hours and hours sketching and many cold nights outside on mission.

2001: time to push things forward. I felt myself limited about letters and spraycans and I decided to 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 message of my concepts. Now I can focus on playing with paint's matter whom is powered by the inifinite kind of signs I can create as I put a different touch and sensibility on works. Human lines become idealized, renewed and unreal, strokes become like bones of the figure, matter turns into flesh.

I love to put my works on useless and broken items, to give to these decayed canvases a new dimension and a new dignity. The work itself gets stronger by the eroded support.

Fate a modo.
Ciao.
