BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES

As a young art school student in the mid-1980s, he began frequenting Naples's most important contemporary art galleries. His painting was influenced by the "cellotex" forms of Alberto Burri and the spiritual chromatism of Anish Kapoor. At first his works were developed on a large scale out of a personal need to be physically within the space of representation. Over the years, pop elements, images, and writing entered his painting, always following the idea of "hyperrealist abstractionism." He has exhibited in solo and group shows in Italy and abroad, particularly in London and Dublin.
