The title of the serie reveals its genesis. They are ideas, tributes and feelings that arise, between series, with the urgency of expression to gain a body and be shared.

Synesthesia

All the Colours

Four centuries separate John Milton from the present day, but his work "Paradise Lost" continues to inspire and challenge through universal themes that resonate with contemporary ethics.

Paradise (isn't) Lost

Are moments of contemplation and reflection that emerge from the natural and supreme delight of time.
Pleasure, fundamental to the rhythm of existence, is found and manifested in the action of creating through painting. The practice, more than an aesthetic experience, offers a deep emotional experience, which intertwines with a driving force and becomes vitality.
In that delicate balance is born the essence of a full, meaningful and rewarding experience, where the conscious appreciation of the present moment transforms the relationship with the world, revealing that beauty is also found in the art of feeling.

Opus

The rhythm was there, and its energy was a call with an irresistible force that led to the first "pocket money" being invested in a record. From then on, songs, albums, bands, and concerts grew the wonderful, giant Rock tree with its countless branches. 

"It's Only Rock 'n' Roll, and I like it!" is the homage and tribute to the unique and unforgettable moments that have defined and marked the endless journey in the world of Music.

It's Only Rock 'n' Roll, and I like it!

André Comte-Sponville's “small” and beautiful homonymous book with enormous impact, opened new horizons, contributing to the reflection and knowledge of values, ideas and ideals, absolutely precious for understanding humanity, but also ones feelings.

At the same time it led me in an enchanted way to discover and meet thinkers and philosophers such as Alain, Simone Weil or Jankélévitch, who contributed like Philosophy itself to question to think more (and better) increasing the potential of a better life and, I hope, to be more human.

They are my sun, my storms; my sugar, my spices; my encounter, my loss; my dream, my madness.

Madame & Mademoiselle

They can be seen as small exercise fields, where new techniques that nurture learning are cultivated, tried and tested, preceding application in new ideas. By their playful character they could not fail to be "lucky".

Lucky Stripes

Mahler

Music is the most sublime, noble and creative form of human expression; it can transmit and share feelings, from wrath to longing, from rage to desire but especially from Love to Love.

In each painting is portrayed the way I feel them, as I hear them, not only through the images of their time, but also through their life and work. Each performance is associated with a musical work and a quotation of their own, serving as a guide to limit the impossible: the infinite passion for Music.
