I approached sculpture, painting, photography and video shooting, taking from each one its richness and peculiarity.
I can't say I prefer an art form in particular. Analog and digital, tradition and innovation, from my point of view are means of enormous and inexhaustible expression potential; It all depends on what the artist wants to communicate, how "he wants to do it and what resonance he wants to have.
For this reason in my works I continue to contaminate techniques and use every means and every kind of support available. I do not have pre-established schemes, a formal formal technique, and a unique style, only a boost to be assimilated, a poetic that takes shape in the chosen subject. In summary: I constantly create a meeting opportunity between technology and tradition.

Technique and poetry
The works are made through a special and laborious technique refined during a three hundred and sixty-degree experimentation that leads me to migrate from digital to pictorial, from technology to tradition, placing my works in a land between figurative and informal.
The process involves 4 main steps: 1 - Photography; 2 - Digital re-processing; 3 - Print on canvas and pen operation; 4 - Color.

1 - Photography:
It accompanies me in everyday life, my faithful companion, the photographic machine. She is immortal with encounters, special moments taking place every day. Walking, living, I find the ideal tree for me and she / she lets the magic of our encounter be immortalized to become chased. So we both caught us.

2 - Digital re-processing:
It is at the computer that the photo becomes the image and expression of my imagination. Reversing, resizing, color balance, and saturation in strictly black and white create what will then be printed on canvas.

3 - Print on canvas and pen operation:
Here, the most delicate phase. Previously treated the canvas welcomes one after the other the A4 sheets that leave, sheet after sheet, part of their ink on the canvas.
Then the canvas becomes a huge puzzle; The sheets constitute a gray base of which the starting image becomes only a trace. To me the task of restoring her identity with the pen drawing and my quick and restless stretch.
At this stage, the artworks are born. Indeed, even individual pieces on paper are studies and small works that decompose and summarize the work transcribed on canvas. This is how single paper prints have not only decomposed the digital image and donated part of their ink to the canvas but become pure experimentation where watercolor, enamel, egg, glue alternate to try and understand ... what will happen on canvas.

4 - Color:
The base of the work is ready and generically it's the canvas itself that suggests the color. Seed oil directly on canvas, maybe put only in some parts where then it directly gives pure pigment; Or, colored water expansions that intertwine in whirling color currents to fall from the sides of the canvas or diluted enamels to the reverse in the trementine, coupled with powders (colored pigments), create the vaporous and rarefied atmospheres that envelop the 'Tree and imprint It is on the canvas. At the end the work is ready
