His Biography
I was born in Rome on 02-04-1959. At the age of 5, I moved to Africa (Somalia, Mogadishu) with my family and stayed there until I was 10 years old. My time in Africa deeply marked my life, especially from an artistic point of view. Unusual human relationships, the harshness of life, the strong sun, and the pungent smells carved deep furrows in my soul. Upon returning to Italy, I went to live in Naples. This was a significant experience, and here too, with a strong sun. To finish the 5th grade, I was enrolled at the Don Bosco state school in Portici. Here, at my first encounter with my Italian (Neapolitan) peers, I became convinced that I could not understand Italian because the Neapolitan language, unknown to me, was incomprehensible. In Naples, I had to face a challenging reality. When I reached high school, I had to choose whether or not to pursue artistic studies. At the time, I was already painting, emulating the various trends of the period, but I was still searching for an artistic style that was as personal as possible. Hence, I chose to pursue artistic studies without an academic path that would have influenced and conditioned me, taking me away from my personal search. In 1978, I began my personal technical and expressive journey. I returned to Africa several times, deepening my understanding of the cultural differences with the West. Life then led me to a job that made me travel the world, to marriage, and to have two children, but I never stopped painting and narrating my emotions through my paintings. In fact, painting has always accompanied me and tells the natural growth of a man. Today, my paintings, using a personal technique of color fragmentation, represent the sensations, worries, joys, and thoughts of a contemporary man. As such, these feelings can only be similar to those of all contemporary men. This is my and our fantastic journey to share in the dreams of our times.
