About the author:
Born in 1953 in Livorno. As a young man, he follows his grandfather, a well-known Italian painter, becoming acquainted with the period of Italian painting at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century.
In 1968, he enrolls in the school of applied arts (Liceo Artistico) and dedicates himself to his painting instinct. By 1972, he holds his first solo exhibition in Milan where his work is appreciated for the personality expressed in his vedute. Numerous exhibitions follow across Italy, establishing him as an excellent figurative artist. During his many travels, he embraces and develops themes that diverge from our established perceptions while maturing his artistic experience. Living in the USA and Sri Lanka in 1987, he finds an innovative approach that he incorporates into his paintings. In 1990, he was appointed secretary of the Gruppo Labronico, one of the oldest artistic associations, which in its history included members such as Annigoni, Modigliani, and Nomellini. He lives and works in Livorno, which dedicated an anthology exhibition to him at “Bottini dell’olio”. Until now, he has exhibited in numerous exhibitions in 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.
