“In my oil canvases colors and their crhomatics contrasts are primary elements.”

I was born in Ravenna were I received my artistic education, attending the secondary Art School and the Academy of Fine Arts, where I experienced the patient slowness of mosaic art, without ever neglecting the more immediate expressive medium of painting. Oil painting has allowed me to express a narrative that evokes the experiences of remote peoples and lands, whose stories symbolize a cyclical space-time that envelops us and makes us participants in the natural world. Color is a primary element in my canvases: in my paintings, I like to contrast the emotional power of Expressionism with the chromatic contrasts of Byzantine mosaic art. I have experimented with new modes of representation, increasingly distancing myself from traditional pictorial methods to arrive at a personal approach characterized by a sort of transformation that satisfies my need to connect form to content.
