Figure 16.22 Painting

I was born in Genoa (Italy) in 1959, I live in Milan since 1996. Since I was very young I like to draw and paint. I also like to design, build models and objects. I studied drawing and art from the age of 14. I completed my artistic studies at the Academy of Fine Arts where I graduated in Painting in Carrara. I worked as a yacht and naval designer with various companies. In addition to painting, I work as a graphic designer, in communication and web projects. I am passionate about art (classical and modern) and when I can visit exhibitions and museums or buy books. I like design, literature (modern), movies, music ... and of course the Internet. My artistic research looks at the past, at the art of the 1900s, from Picasso and Cubism, to Futurism, Expressionism, to modern American art, Pop Art and Abstract expressionism, combining figurative and abstract in a personal research. Through the use of signs, shapes and colors, balances and tensions, dynamism and stasis, above the surface, I express and represent the moods and impulses in which everyone can "mirror".
