I started working on this idea several years ago, in 2011 with a tempera on paper, bright colors, almost violent, then a few months later with a watercolor engraving in ink, and now with an oil on board because the theme I am very interested in violence against women. This time I developed it in a tenuous and classical way, stopping to think with bitter irony, about the violence that is done to women and in general to their condition. We should all bow to women: they carry the life, without them every path is interrupted, and yet today does not pass a day in which there are no cases of femicide. And this Herma, which stands at the side of any ancient Roman road, with a man-statue separated from the his own low instincts in the lower part, which holds on his arms an exhausted, defeated woman, with a cippus next to him that recalls two spouses and their indissoluble love, he wants to remember this. What do cats have to do with? It is almost my stylistic code: to insert an element of "parallel life" (plants or animals) to remind myself and those who want us all to be part of a single world.

Born in Villabate (Palermo ,Italy) and after the first vernissage in Palermo in 1977, for thirty years living and working in Florence, with a painter and graphic and exhibitions in various Italian and foreign cities and present in collections in Los Angeles, Milan, Palermo, Buenos Aires; Houston. Painter of ideas and dream situations where dreams emerge and references to past... I've been painting since I was fifteen. I am proud to be self-taught, not to have attended any art school, to have learned everything that I would like to give and to learn from my mistakes. Like in art, so in life. I define myself as a painter of ideas, mine. In the sense that I try to give a face and a stage to situations, people, things, facts that I imagined or only lived or that in any case have merged in my experiences. I have made up to now more than 900 works, which considering the care and the meticulousness with which I work is a nice goal for me. I have decided to include here some works of my property, with the title also the year of execution to give the idea of a journey through the various meanders of art. I started painting very young and went through various styles of painting. Without ever neglecting the dreamlike aspect. In recent years I identify more with the surreal aspect of reality in which we live.
