In 1968, he enrolled in the applied arts school (Liceo Artistico) and devoted himself to his painting instinct. 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, establishing him as a distinguished figurative artist. During his many travels, he embraced and developed themes distant 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 incorporates into his paintings.

He lives and works in Livorno, which dedicated an anthological exhibition to him at “Bottini dell’olio.” So far, he has exhibited in numerous shows 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.
