“When I work on my paintings, it is as if I felt constantly the creative and destructive impulse that
lies at the base of every human being. I feel the need to alter the material, merging with it and in
this way with the randomness that comes from its alteration itself. This is why I burn the plastic, the
canvases, shatter objects, use stucco, glazes and other materials, sometimes completely devoid of
conventional painting techniques.
It is as if the physical laws governing the properties of matter challenge me in a game where we

graduate’s courses in History of Art of the University of Rome La Sapienza. However, his career as
a dancer does not stop and, after working in various Italian theaters, from 2016 he joins one of the
