How would you describe your work? What inspires you?
My work, I realized, comes from overexposure to the communicative stimuli to which my senses are subjected throughout the day. What comes out of TV, radio, internet, that I read and listen to, people at the bar or on the subway, are absorbed and reworked in the form of notes, sketches, quick written texts produced in one go.Can you speak about your process?
My small studio in Rome is literally invaded by sketches, notes, drawings, written words, magazine clippings. Each of these elements has the aim of finding one or more companions to join and form a unique work that represents the aggregation of diversity in a communicative synthesis. It's a bit like assimilating, digesting and internalizing the elements of invasive communication I was talking about above.How did you become interested in art?
I started when I was young following my father who painted with oils.
Do you have any favorite artists, movies, books, or quotes?
Favorite artists vary over time and with personal evolution. From Basquat, Rauschenberg, Twombly and Beuys I arrived at Paolo Gioli, Henrik Olesen, Arnul Rainer and Roberto Cuoghi. Directors who inspire me Fellini, Greenaway, Jarman, Tarkovsky. Now I'm rereading Homer's Odyssey.Quote: “The limits of my language are the limits of my world”
