Nasone (Big nose) Print

Perhaps my first approach to painting was when I was 3 or 4 years old. I used to love drawing yellow trucks. I don't know why but I remember perfectly the amazement in seeing the drawing just finished. Over the years I have deepened and developed a passion that has never died out. After the art school I’ve started working as an illustrator and as a set designer for cartoons. In those years, I’ve happened to see a Van Gogh exhibition. It had such an impact on me and it made me feel so deeply that I understood instantly that I was going to be a painter! And so I started painting in workspaces. During the last few years, with the advancement of digital techniques, I have begun to devote more time to painting, carving out spaces that have become vital. My painting is the result of constant practice. It covers various styles but they’re united by a common denominator: the spasmodic and rigorous search for light through color which, both in the abstract and in the figurative concept, must create an atmosphere capable of welcoming the viewer and lead him into a tangible world. My paintings represent abstracts, landscapes, still life, atmospheres which, at times melancholy, at times luminous, represent my personality. The techniques used vary from acrylic, oil, pencils and watercolor.
