  • Biography
    Oil painting on canvas is my favorite technique, sometimes replaced by pastel on cardboard, but the line is always the same, the style is realistic. I choose these two techniques because the first lends itself to the composition of the painting, because starting from an initial idea, it allows me to change the image from time to time, so it is a reflective technique that slowly leads me to the final result.
    It allows me to arrive, if I want, at the perfection of the figures, deciding the number of passes you want to give.
    The second technique helps me to immediately understand and see the subject that will be depicted, as the pastel gives almost immediate results, without having to go beyond the areas already painted.
    My genre is a surrealist figurative that tries to tell hidden stories and emotions. The story takes place both in dreamlike, evocative and surreal landscapes and in simple contexts, depicting individuals with their shadows.
    When I paint subjects in landscapes I carry out an introspective research of memory: the young subject is the protagonist. This occupies the main part of a scenario created with an old house sometimes ruined (according to a time now gone by), wild vegetation, enriched by symbolic objects and animals that had a particular meaning in that story. I try to project the viewer into a subconscious dimension, into his memory, creating a surreal environment.
    Painting the characters with their shadows allows me to go beyond appearance, beyond the first glance. We see the protagonist in a certain pose, always thoughtful, with a shadow behind him that seems to be his physical shadow, but which instead projects something else, his feelings, his personal essence, the one that cannot be perceived at first sight. immediately, but which is understood by going deeper, getting to know the person, their experiences and their desires, fears, expectations.
    The creation of the works is always starting from photos of young subjects, I choose a context and symbols, depending on the story I want to tell and then I paint in a single scene. The painting sessions are different: I try to give at least three passes to all the elements of the painting, sometimes, if I don't find satisfaction, I find myself reviewing the protagonist subject up to 5 times, which must tell and therefore must be as credible as possible.
