Biography
About Me
Born and raised in Italy substantially more than 21 years ago, I now live and work between Italy and Brazil.
With a career in science behind me, I moved to the United States, where I studied at the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California.
I have worked as a photographer for several United Nations agencies and travel magazines, and I have been teaching photography and Photoshop for many years. My work has been represented by several photo agencies worldwide.
For some time now, I have been devoting myself exclusively to my artistic production, which is exhibited on this website. Part of this production is on sale through the following galleries: Saatchi Art and Artmajeur.
I am a keen pianist, and I collaborate with the Brazilian painter Américo de Carvalho e Sousa.
Endless Innovation, Allo-realism and Synesthesia
I never stop innovating. As an artist and researcher, I follow my intuition rather than market cues. Once I have done something new, it has been conquered and revealed. Therefore I move on.
Many of my images are allo-realistic. In allo-realism an image retains a realistic foundation because, contrasting with surrealism, the unreal elements are subtle and intertwined with the realistic aspects, thereby challenging the boundaries of what is considered real and exploring the intersection between the familiar and the strange.
My photographs often cause synesthesia, transforming visual input into alternative perceptions such as, for example, sounds or scents.
Artist Statement
I consider myself a painter who uses photography. I take photos of our inner world, of the deep emotions and moods hidden from the eyes. I make them visible and felt.
Exhibitions. I have contributed to various exhibitions, including:
- Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh, UK.
- Pro Grigioni Exhibition Gallery, Poschiavo, Switzerland.
- BazArt Exhibition, Sondrio, Italy.
- Al.Bo for Art Gallery, Morbegno, Italy.
