Artist Statement:

Italian painter and poet, I live between Fermo (my birthplace) and Florence, where I graduated in French Literature with a thesis about the Dada movement in Paris—a deep and long-lasting influence on me. I am fond of every form of art, from Gothic to Renaissance to contemporary, in all its declinations. Living in Florence, where art is all around, I have the opportunity not only to see the Renaissance masterpieces but also to visit exhibitions of every kind and period—a fantastic source of inspiration.

My research is about the interactions between colors and light: my works CHANGE evidently every time the light (or the point of view) changes. As a child, I fell in love with the amazing colors of the fabulous polyptychs by Carlo Crivelli, Jacobello del Fiore, etc. I use the same colors, but in a totally different way, in order to create effects of movement and/or changes in colors and shape, using various techniques I 'invent'. My purpose is to put/show light 'in action'—so to speak. Not to 'describe' the effects of the light, but to create conditions to make the light 'modify' my paintings: they are interactive, never finished, never the same, not reproducible. They change during the day; they change if you move them, becoming sometimes unrecognizable. I make series of paintings (about wind, water, birds—but also fireworks...) and, above all, about the various aspects of the crowd (50 elements, so far) that I 'investigate' with passion.

Exhibition History:

I had my first and second exhibitions ("GIOCHI DI LUCE" 1 and 2) in Florence ("Eclectic Home" Gallery) in 2012 and 2013. Then, I had other solo exhibitions in Fermo ("GIOCHI DI LUCE" 3, 4, 5) and participated in several collective art shows, both in Florence and Fermo. In July 2023, I took part in a collective exhibition ("POINT OF VIEW") at Galeria Azur in Madrid. In December 2023-January 2024, I participated in "SESSION 08," another collective exhibition at Galeria Azur in Berlin.
