About the author:
Born in 1953 in Livorno. As a young man, he follows his grandfather, a famous Italian painter, getting acquainted with the period of Italian painting at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
In 1968, he enrolled in the school of applied arts (Liceo Artistico) and dedicated himself to his painting instinct. By 1972, he held his first solo exhibition in Milan where his work was appreciated for the personality conveyed by his vedute. Numerous exhibitions followed across Italy, establishing him as a skilled figurative artist. During his many travels, he embraces and develops themes distant from our established perceptions, while his artistic experience matures. Living in the USA and Sri Lanka in 1987, he discovers an innovative approach which he integrates into his paintings. In 1990, he was appointed secretary of the Labronico Group, one of the oldest artistic associations, which throughout its history included members such as Annigoni, Modigliani, and Nomellini. He lives and works in Livorno, which dedicated an anthology exhibition to him at the “Bottini dell’olio.” To date, he has exhibited in numerous exhibitions at public and private galleries. In 2000, he was among the artists selected to mark the millennium, exhibited in New York in 2002, and in the Brussels Parliament in 2003.
