I am a professional artist interested to depict figurative and wildlife.
Painting and drawing are my means of expression.
Inspiration is predominantly classical but with a strong contemporary presence.
My creative approach is focused on a narrative composition based on the principles of symbolism, realism, perception, poetry, mystery, aesthetics and detail. Where the symbolism wants to evoke an intimate emotion, and arouse the interest in Nature, force that connects all living beings.
For me Nature is very important and its inspiration allows me a very complex and descriptive creativity.
Each of my creatures tells a story about presence and essence, taking shape from light and shadows, like an emotion that vibrates in a timeless space. I believe that painting and drawing are the best ways to represent this.
Over the years I have always experimented different drawing and painting techniques so obtaining the today’s ever-evolving style.
The most important thing is that, both in painting and in drawing, my work has to appear absolutely smooth and only if I want light reflections in painting, then I create an “ad hoc” material effect.
Throughout the creative phase I always dedicate a great attention to the choice of the surface’s size where my painting will come to life.
I work in my studio during the day, every day of the week losing the notion of time…always.
