Biography
I was born in Bergamo in 1974, growing up in the province of Lecce, which I leave to continue my studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. From 2007 to 2011, I live in Berlin, where among other activities I work with the international project Happenstudio, Platform for contemporary art.
It is precisely in these years that I begin to make use of different media (painting, photography, installation, video) to treat issues related to the social and political condition of the world population and its relationship with the environment. My work ranges from visual art to theatre performance and art therapy applied to various social issues.
