Figurative artist, magna cum laude graduated in Brera Fine Arts Academy (Milan, Italy) with a thesys about ethics and aesthetics of digital art. Researcher specialized in digital imaging and related technologies for magazines and companies.

After years of study of the most classical techniques of painting and figurative arts, my artistic research, a has been investigating for
many years the cohrence and the peculiarities of the digital expressiveness,
attempting to give to digital art a sure and definite expressive identity.
Fascinated by the indivisible concepts of human and technological evolution,
I play with an extremely fine processing of random or refined images, considering the full potentialities, often unapt, of the informatic
systems, from the acquisition to the exposure. I'm aware of the neverending technological development linked to this art form, and so he frames his experiences under the brand Capitolouno, at least until when I will consider myself at the beginning of this expressve line.
The first meaningful step occurred in 1998 with the realization of Homo
Sapiens Marsupialis, that is a naked figure with hands in pockets, where,
by means of an hyper-realistic photo-retouch and the study of the metabehaviour,
I try to understand if Nature is still able to keep up with
the rhythmes of the human progress. These works, exhibited at Palazzo Della
Permanente in Milan, were then requestd by the Art Kiosk Gallery in Bruxelles,
for a collective event, where exhibeted very important artists, as Orlan,
Dinos and Jake Chapman.
But the boredom imposed by the forced stereotyping of a global communication, unprepared and not formative, brings me towards an
ethic research of the expertise of the artist. The researches about the turnover
of the creative route, about the exhaustive knowledge of the always new tools and about the evolution of the perceptiveness become complemenatry
elements of a unique style, but in continuous development, and of a new aesthetics.
The experimenting about the acquisition, about the sign given by elaboration
alogorithmes as by different printing or exposure systems, about the new chromatisms are confirmed by the many artworks of the DEE series, where
mysterious feminine figures, everlasting protagonists of the artists work, are
upset by a surreal painting, founded on a digitally flemish detailing, almost
baroque. The picture is so decomposed in different perceptive levels, where
figuring, abstraction, colour and composition feeling live together and run themselves after, in rhythm of the observer.
In the last times My energies are addressed to the study of
conceptual methodes of digital managment of human mind and body, and to the advanced colour possibilities of laser printing and fine papers.
