1. What are the foundations of your research (Art Identity)?
Art, in particular, painting creates in me a particular way of interpreting everything that I see, surrounds me and transmits to me. So the function of my painting is to interpret the multiple varieties of expression or adaptations to the common thought.
2. Who are the artists who have guided you in your research?
Arturo Carmassi (1925 - 2015), Riccardo Guarneri, Tommaso Cascella, to name a few that I have known and with whom I have shared the passion and suggestions that have led me to further developments of my painting.
3. Define yourself as a human being using three adjectives.
4. According to your vision, where is contemporary art going and where would you like it to go?
I bring my painting into a wider and more innovative dimension by guaranteeing one's role by committing oneself to questioning any aspect of the contemporary society in which I live and work.
