Born in Pescara, Italy, in 1981 to an Italian father and French mother, he spent his childhood between Italy and Moislains, a village in Upper France. He grew up inspired by his father, a painter and sculptor. A lover of technology, he explores contemporary languages through a transmedia approach, favouring the use of photographic and video mediums. He conceives his works as a response to the mechanical and suffocating aspects of society, driven by a desire for differentiation that aspires to a transcendent beauty. In 2015, "DIVIDED" came to light, an evolving project centered on contemporary visual culture. This project synthesises network media flows, urban aesthetic elements, and a fascination with the female figure into immersive and conceptual works. The artist appropriates error as a breaking point, intending to reclaim the human element by re-evaluating its aesthetic for a new harmony of forms and colours. In parallel, as a sound designer and selector, he is a prominent figure in clubs and at vernissages, performing DJ sets of electronic and experimental music with popular influences. He is deeply influenced by contemporary classical music in its hypnotic and contemplative forms. Simultaneously, the artist develops a poetic production where verses accompany the surrounding reality with a melancholic and poignant sensibility. Throughout the years, he has had several exhibitions, among them "Realtà seconda" (Second Reality) and "Una luce lenta" (A Slow Light), which, through non-rational figures, natural elements, and female presences, investigate the unexpected as a timeless source of creation. In his use of manipulations and alterations, his works adapt to non-secondary streams of consciousness, manifesting in harmony with echoes of past masters, from Rotella's décollage to the chromatic suggestions of Suprematism. As his practice consolidated, the artist has been focusing on direct photography and compositions characterised by geometric elements of pure colour, reflecting a necessary choice of reduction towards a more collected and intimate dimension. In his lines of light, black and white reveal themselves, merging the aesthetics of the past with an exploration of boundaries. An intention, a different path. Steps of a poetic and contemplative urgency, unveiling a movement of annihilation of the human, accomplished through being.
