I am a contemporary artist from Abruzzo. I have lived and worked in Florence for 20 years.
Since I was a child I have shown a great interest in painting; at just 3 years old I enjoyed drawing and painting, fascinated by the colors and shapes that came to life under my fingers.
Growing up in a family that has always encouraged creativity, I had access to art materials and attended children’s workshops. I have participated in group exhibitions and painting competitions, where my works, were appreciated for the originality of their feature , their bright colors and the sensitivity of their themes.
I attended the experimental course “Progetto Leonardo” at the “Misticoni” art high school in Pescara (the same one attended by as Andrea Pazienza).
During my high school years, I had the opportunity to participate in extracurricular live painting events at cultural organizations and avant-garde boutiques such as Essauria Couture. For Essauria, I designed and created street art installations for shootings and urban fashion shows of local and international artists.
After high school graduation, I enrolled at the DAMS in Florence, where I graduated in Art History with an experimental thesis on Visual Poetry, focusing especially on the figure of one of its most important exponents, Luciano Ori. I met by chance on a bus in Florence.
During this period, I explored further artistic expressions, such as theatre, the creation of sets for independent companies and digital art.
After graduation, I worked as a graphic designer, illustrator and interior decorator with various communication and design studios. For my personal exhibitions, I have sought out conventional and more urban/contemporary environments.
In 2012 I joined the staff of CRH (Contesta Rock Hair) as manager responsible for communication and events’ planning. CRH is animated by a young and cosmopolitan team that designs and creates innovative projects in its salons located in Rome, Florence, Milan, New York and Miami.
Since 2017 I am a business partner of the CRH salon in Borgo la Croce in Florence.
I continue to organize both indoor and outdoor exhibitions and events for CRH brand, ranging from the proposal of emerging artists to the celebrations of the important names in contemporary art. Some examples of this kind of events include concerts inside CRH salons and participation in some of the major music festivals such as Rockin’1000 and Decibel Open Air.
For CRH Florence, I also support and coordinate human resources, involving employees not only in training courses but also personally guiding them through the visit of museums and exhibitions in Florence to help them develop and improve their natural artistic and aesthetic spirit.
In 2022 I collaborated with the international street artist Zed 1 for the “Coloriamo Gorgona” project and in 2024 I participated as a street artist in other events such as Carrara Studi Aperti.
Recently, I have started creating to create minimalist digital portraits, in which I use very few strokes to express the character of the protagonist that will be recognizable not for a faithful representation but for a peculiarity that makes it unique. At the same time, my figurative research in creative paintings has opened up to floral universes, while still belonging to pop/surreal dimensions.
