“I was born in Sardinia in 1987, I studied the Academy of Fine Arts in Sassari and in 2014 I moved to Milan where I live now! I have always painted since I was a child, my father was painter and he passed on to me this passion which then became a job over the years. I collaborate with several galleries in Italy and abroad, My main gallery is Cannaviello where I will do a personal exhibition on June 5th.”

The visual and perceptive space of each piece of art meets two levels:

at first, the viewer will find idealistic landscapes of an unreal and passionless nature

which define a motionless and unalterable time

At the second level, instead, they will meet the study of colors and lights

which by split-ups and chromatic juxtapositions decree and formalize the energy of presence and subsequent absence

The energy of time.

Therefore, I set bucolic landscapes, glaciers and expanses as hypothetical pretexts to define and make what the naked eye could not see flow:

the presence of time. 

This personal way of using acrylic makes the color, although at times graduated, always saturated.

The color indeed does not tend to fade relatively to the figurative element

but it rather fixes it, defines it, pictures it.

It ain’t no shade, rather lights.
