About the author:
Born in 1953 in Livorno. As a young man, he followed his grandfather, a renowned Italian painter, familiarizing himself 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 devoted himself to his painting instinct. Already by 1972, he held his first solo exhibition in Milan, where his work was appreciated for the personality expressed in his vedute. Numerous exhibitions followed throughout Italy, affirming him as an excellent figurative artist. During his many travels, he embraced and developed themes that diverge from our established perceptions, while his artistic experience matured. Living in the USA and Sri Lanka in 1987, he found an innovative approach that he incorporated into his paintings. In 1990, he was appointed secretary of the Labronico Group, one of the oldest artistic associations, which historically had members such as Annigoni, Modigliani, and Nomellini. He lives and works in Livorno, which dedicated an anthological exhibition to him at “Bottini dell’olio.” To date, he has exhibited at numerous exhibitions in public and private galleries. In 2000, he was among the artists selected to commemorate the millennium, exhibited in New York in 2002, and in the Brussels Parliament in 2003.
