Swimming down Painting

I am an Italian painter, illustrator and visual designer. My paintings usually deal with water and motion, a way to express my temper and my love for vitality with a powerful brushstroke. Water in particular is my element, and as a swimmer I am always fascinated by scenes dealing with swimming, windsurfing or water with a strong presence of blue tones. Lately I dedicate my creativity in painting mostly trees enlightened by a superior mystic light as a sign of hope Where they become symbol of rebirth in our endangered world. In this case I feel to have a different approach to art seen as a moment of intimate recollection. I live in Rimini, Italy on the Adriatic coast, and after graduating at the Polytechnic School of Design in Milan, I’ve been working in advertising and communication since 1989. At first as a freelance, then in my own studio, creating images, illustrations, logos, storyboards, brochures, posters, maps, infographics or technical and concept images.
