For my visual work I work with many different mediums and techniques. It ranges from to fine arts, outdoor art, illustration to experimental photography, passing by interior design, applied arts, and cinema sets. Also exyended to involve fashion, including a brief collaboration with Alexander McQueen (2009) and comme des garçons (2004).
Proudly of being the Great-grandson of one organizers on 'La Mostra sul Futurismo Italiano' in Rome in the 1930s. It brouught to me a major influence in arts.

One of my main aims is to combine beautiful materials, fashion, trends, classical western elements/movements with elegant forms into a pinnacle of ultimate beauty and sensuality to contradict with the expressionistic despair and frustration often seen in the quotidian life and Art. A communication through a fanciful realism.

“The true essence of contemporary art is being able to reinvent yourself with what you have.”

If you asking me by which Artist I got influenced by, I ask to myself why a creative person always have to be 'influenced' by another? I would prefer to classify it as giving an evolution and development for those masters work to nowadays, taking advantage on new colors, techniques and trends. The technology today are opening the artists to many new options and possibilities to worlds of beauty formally invisible to the physic eye.

In my work, I refer to technological innovations as a means of making, a connection and a fusion between the academic Art techniques with science and technology. Developing thus new techniques as a contribution to the Art of information age. An endless research of studying the old, evolving to create the new as the natural Human evolution itself.

Being under “influence” to me would mean giving a direct continuation without any innovations to another artist work with a lack of self-creativity, imagination, and without speaking from my own words. Simply, as fully authentic Nature cannot be pigeon-holed and entrapped geometrically into a stereotypical box, there is no categorizing a free-form.

I consider that I always had a great sense of observation and I have been 'collecting images my whole life, enough to interpret, to build and develop my own work out of a clipping patchwork of images, colors and forms that I have been collecting since always, that resulted in a series of paintings which having no beginning or end, a TIMELESS REMIX.
