Artist Statement
The elementary forms I paint are built on different levels of space and give life to imaginary perspectives and horizons.
There is always a room behind to discover, a hidden part, a plane that gives three-dimensionality to the images that emerge from the darkness.
From a technical point of view, the picture is painted with pure pigments that have been fixed on a wooden panel, previously prepared with an absorbent base consisting of a mixture of stucco used for architectural restoration.
Some light glazes of acrylic color are subsequently applied to balance the color tones.
Due to the characteristics of the support, the chromatic result is extremely mat.

Artist Profile
Born: 1965
Hometown: Verona
Based in: Grezzana
I was born in Verona in 1965, Italy.
In 1987 I moved to Milan to study Architecture at the Politecnico where I got the degree in 1990. Encouraged by the artist Ada Zanon Marisaldi, who appreciated my early paintings, I went to Berlin to meet and know some German artists among the Neuen Wilden. During those years I travelled all along Europe to discover the great art Museums.
After my first solo show at Galleria Ferrari, in 1990 I moved to New York to attend the School of Visual Arts. I had a show at the Cristopher Leonard Gallery and at the end of the 1992 Tompkins Square clashes I came back to Italy settling in a large run-down building in the old town of Verona. For a few years I hosted several local artists deciding to offer them a space to work.
In 1992 I collaborated in the realization of "Invita" - a cycle of exhibitions - curated by Erno Vroonen with artists such as Anish Kapoor, Giuseppe Penone and Julian Opie.
In 2005 I found an old farm on the slopes of the Lessini mountains, near Verona, where I moved to live in Nature with my family.
