“If I stretch my arms and wonder where my fingers are, that is all the space I need as a painter.”
Willem de Kooning

I was born in Rome to a cosmopolitan family, I am a contemporary artist, painter and videomaker.

I started exhibiting in the early 1990s, in collective and personal exhibitions in Italy and abroad. My work is currently exhibited in private and public collections, in Italy, France, Greece, Latin America, the United States and other countries.

I am the artistic director of Studio Urbana, an independent cultural production space founded in the heart of Rome in 2007 and dedicated to art.
