**ASPERGER…** Do you know Sheldon Cooper from *The Big Bang Theory*? If you do, you might get a glimpse of who I am—but instead of science, my world is art. I’m an Italian artist based in Rome, constantly exploring new ways to express myself and my unique perception of reality. For me, reality doesn’t truly exist as a fixed entity; it's always shifting, just a matter of perspective. My art is a reflection of that ongoing exploration. I share my life in Rome with my wonderful girlfriend, four dogs, and three cats. Only a few years ago, I truly discovered myself as an artist, and it’s been a journey ever since. I also have Asperger's Syndrome, part of the Autism Spectrum (ASD). Talking about myself isn’t always easy, but my diagnosis, just four years ago, was a turning point. It helped me understand my past and embrace my present with clarity. Now, I want my art to speak up for those with autism, to share our voices, and to challenge how the world views us. Among my creations, you’ll often find the **Blue Cat**—a symbol of autism. This cat, with its infinity-like eyes and long whiskers, represents my journey. Its eyes reflect the endless nature of the autistic mind, constantly exploring, never at rest. Its whiskers? They reach out to reality, trying to grasp it, trying to touch what sometimes feels just beyond reach. I hope you connect with my work, because each piece tells a story not just of autism, but of the beauty in different ways of seeing the world. The Blue Cat is more than a figure in my art—it's a window into how I experience life, and maybe, how others like me do too.
