About me

I base my work in three pillars: the idea, the choice of a technique and the selection of materials to express what I wanted to. I am prepared to receive Chance: it is welcome when I’m investigating my new processes and formulas. I think of it as a fortuitous event that must be always taken into account. Once discovered, I try to put it under control, although perhaps it’s at the inverse. For the developing of film and for the printing of my photographs I use formulas of my own, trying to give each picture a special atmosphere.

For my paintings and my artist’ books I work with different materials and tools. It doesn’t bother me not to have a definite style. Style, in fact stylus, is a word to denote a tool. Ideas and tools express different things in my photographic portfolios, in my artist’ books or in my paintings. In some way they outline my self. They are reflections of interests and moods’ fluctuations along my life and times. I am meanly interested in the frontier between the real and the imaginary, mythology, symbolism, metaphor as an expressive tool, human condition and its search for transcendence.

To quest, to investigate, to answer: these are my aims and my leitmotivs.
