I was born in Catania, in the south of Italy in 1971 and since then I have dedicated my life to Art.I completed my studies at the Academy of Fine Art with a Bachelors Degree in Visual Art and thesis in Japanese art print, one copy of that is saved in the Library of the Japanese Institute in Rome.I used to write critics for an exhibition in a Museum in Sicily and articles for a Sicilian Cultural magazine. I also published some artworks in a book and then I continued to travel to find inspiration and improve my skills. First of all in Malta where I studied English and in Germany where I realized a personal exhibition that was very successful.In 2003 I participated to an International Art-exhibition for young artists in Rome .Now, I live in London where I found love and the opportunity to use my art skills teaching, organizing origami workshops, continuing to study, doing research, participating to art-exhibitions and helping disabled people with art.Art is my life, I always discover something new inside me and looking around in the world and always will be. My artwork is inspired by my real nature on this earth and to spread emotions to the world.In my paintings, using ink in a calligraphic and abstract way, I come back to the past, my past and to the historic and cultural past too, associated to the scribe communication of oriental people and the modern usage of Chinese and Japanese ideograms.My art style represent the harmony of a logical research with my personal and instinctive action that change with the time, my time and the time around.I always try to represent moment of peace and meditation, sometimes using a base of cork wood to recreate an old landscape where everything on earth was balanced, some other times I use paper recalling different cultures as an universal communication.
