Nasco a Genova nel 1984.
Vivo in questa città da sempre, e da sempre sento l’impulso di voler lasciare traccia di me.

Nei miei lavori c’è il gesto prima di ogni cosa. E accadimento prima che sostanza, che si darà poi col titolo che vi si imprime, come condanna ancora della ricerca di senso. 

E nelle sfumature e nel nero che io prediligo, ora inerte, ora palpitante, luce e buio, somma e vuoto, raccolta e cancellazione, c’è il mio vivere il tempo… O il sopravvivere ad esso.

Attraverso i miei lavori racconto del tempo che mi passa addosso, del movimento e della calcarea staticità. Di ciò che muta e di ciò che resta, irrisolto.
La polvere accumulata negli angoli, che si pensa non possa nuocere.
Gli slanci di luce, i ricordi dolorosi, le occasioni perse: tutto quello che mi sembrava aver superato, uscendone più o meno illeso, ritorna.
La sua manifestazione sulle tele é una lettura intima, profonda e istintiva della mia personalità.

Nel 2022 la ricerca mi ha portato ad avvicinarmi al design (serie “Femmes” e “Inconsistenze”), vicinanza colmata con l’incontro e la collaborazione con Andrea Castrignano.
Insieme a lui collaboro con due mie importanti opere, “Neophobia” e una versione di “Inconsistenze” lightbox che sposa perfettamente il minimalismo della mia pittura con il design.

Nel 2023 lavoro a due serie principali:
“Edifici Umani”, lavori tratti da fotografie di strutture create dall’uomo e rese brutali, pesanti e austere in contrasto con gli sfondi colorati e netti che vogliono regalare speranza al pesante passaggio dell’uomo sulla Terra.

“Flowers” invece é una serie per la maggior parte composta da piccoli dipinti, pezzi unici su carta a smalto e acrilico, in cui astraggo la figura floreale che diventa geometrica e irregolare, minimale ed in bianco e nero. Il colore tipo dei fiori viene estratto e condensato in spruzzi, slanci e guizzi come se non appartenesse più all’immagine stessa.

From my childhood I remember a good and responsible child, born in 1984, who traced the course for the restless adult with his marked duplicity, prone to overthinking and to inner conflicts.
In my work there is the gesture first of all.  Like a pit in the stomach, the nostalgia for the unknown, a fragment of happiness that tears and is hard to hold back.
Speaking about the names of my works, the condemnation of the search for meaning is clear.
The titles are a compass that I offer to the observer to delve into my unconscious, with its movements of suffocating immobility.

In the series [Femmes] I praise femininity, its existence and manifestation.
They are sinuous, soft, clear and fat curves that wrap and embrace.  They hide cracks of experience in the background, and generate indomitable flashes.
Each work of the series has a woman’s name, which makes it alive and unique: similar to them and identical to none.

In the [Del tempo] series I am looking at the mirror, rediscovering myself different, regenerated.  Not necessarily better.  It talks about the time which passes over me, about the movement and about the limestone stillness.  Of what changes and what remains unsolved.
The dust accumulated in the corners, which is thought to be harmless.
Bad habits, painful memories, missed opportunities: everything that I thought I had  overcome, more or less unharmed, returns.
Its manifestation on the canvases is an intimate, profound and instinctive reading of my personality.

In 2022, my research led me close to the design ([Femmes] series and [Inconsistenze] series), always with the minimalist approach that distinguishes most of my work:
color always little or absent, dosed and measured.
Hence the title of my personal “Non_colore” at the gallery “La grande Bellezza” in Volterra.
Because black with its shades and its thought absence, are enough for me.
There is light and dark.
Sum and void.
Collection and cancellation.
This is enough to live my time, or to survive.

In 2023 I’m working on two main series:
“Edifici Umani”, works taken from photographs of structures created by man and made brutal, heavy and austere in contrast with the colored and clear backgrounds that aim to give hope to the heavy passage of man on Earth.

“Flowers”is a series mostly composed of small paintings, unique pieces on enamel and acrylic on paper, in which I abstract the floral figure which becomes geometric and irregular, minimal and in black and white.  The typical color of the flowers is extracted and condensed into splashes, bursts and flashes as if it no longer belonged to the image itself.

On the other hand, when the final result is satisfactory, I am pervaded by a kind of enjoyment. More mental than physical. A kind of mild orgasm that permeates my body and mind and which lasts for the rest of the day.
It’s not always like this. There are a lot failures as well. After all “when you dip in color and you look at the blank canvas … you start with the first signs with a sort of faith in destiny”.
